About this quote
This quote appears widely across the internet attributed to van Gogh, but a thorough search of his 820 surviving letters — including the Van Gogh Museum's complete archive — has never located the specific phrase "heart and my soul" combined with "lost my mind." Wikiquote lists it as unsourced. The sentiment is plausible given his letters, but no verified origin has been established.
