“Para alguns, mulher é heresia e diabólica. Para mim ela é justamente o oposto.”
Original
To some, woman is heresy and diabolical. To me she is just the opposite.
1880s, 1884, Letter to Theo (Nuenen, Oct. 1884)
Contexto: Oh, I am no friend of present-day Christianity, though its Founder was sublime - I have seen through present-day Christianity only too well. That icy coldness hypnotized even me, in my youth - but I have taken my revenge since then. How? By worshipping the love which they, the theologians, call sin, by respecting a whore [ Sien in The Hague ]), etc., and not too many would-be respectable, pious ladies. To some, woman is heresy and diabolical. To me she is just the opposite.
