"I am not saying that we should love death, but rather that we should love life so generously, without picking and choosing, that we automatically include it (life's other half) in our love. This is what actually happens in the great expansiveness of love, which cannot be stopped or constricted. It is only because we exclude it that death becomes more and more foreign to us and, ultimately, our enemy. It is conceivable that death is infinitely closer to us than life itself. What do we know of it?"

ID 1: A painting showing the 'bust' and above of a skeleton with a cigarette. Background is black

ID 2: Wikipedia page text which reads

Skull of a Skeleton with Burning Cigarette (Dutch: Kop van een skelet met brandende sigaret) is an early work by Vincent van Gogh. The small and undated oil-on-canvas painting featuring a skeleton and cigarette is part of the permanent collection of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.[1] It was most likely painted in the winter of 1885–86 as a satirical comment on conservative academic practices.[1] Before it was common to use live humans as models, the academic routine included the study of skeletons to develop an understanding of human anatomy. Van Gogh was in Antwerp, Belgium at that time attending classes at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, which he later said were boring and taught him nothing.[2]

End ID

I did not think I could love Van Gogh any more and then I discovered this exists.

And he most likely painted it out of pure sarcasm and cynical assholery??

Are you KIDDING ME.

Like "your stupid classes literally bored me to death, allow me to provide an anatomically accurate depiction of exactly what they did to me" it's BEAUTIFUL.
