I believe certain people must walk to the edge. It is in their nature. Van Gogh was an edgeridger. He wrote the below letter on October 8, 1889, from an asylum, after the infamous incident when he chopped off part of his left ear in Saint-Remy-de-Provence:
Dear God, this is a pretty awful little part of the world, everything’s hard to do here, to disentangle its intimate character, and so that it’s not something vaguely true, but the true soil of Provence. So to achieve that, you have to toil hard. And so it naturally becomes a little abstract. Because it will be a question of giving strength and brilliance to the sun and the blue sky, and to the scorched and often so melancholy fields their delicate scent of thyme.

if you’re not living on the edge, you’re taking up too much space.
