"The years between twenty and thirty are full of perils of all kinds, full of great perils, ay, perils of sin and death, but also full of God's light and comfort; struggling, thou shalt prevail, and when the dangers are past, thou shalt recall them poignantly and say, It was a good time after all."
--Vincent van Gogh, in a letter to his brother, Theo, from Isleworth 25 Nov. 1876 (82a)
