Vincent van Gogh on Windows to the Soul
The Complete Letters of Vincent van Gogh L441, Written December 19, 1885 (New York Graphic Society, 1958), 2:462.

in the eyes that is not in the cathedral, however solemn and imposing
the latter may be — a human soul, be it that of a poor beggar or
of a street walker, is more interesting to me.
