More quotes by Irving Stone
Someday my paintings will be hanging in the Louvre. [Vincent Van Gogh]
Irving Stone
Story writers say that love is concerned only with young people, and the excitement and glamour of romance end at the altar. How blind they are. The best romance is inside marriage the finest love stories come after the wedding, not before.
Irving Stone
Reading has always been the largest and most irreplaceable pleasure for Vincent reading about other people's successes and failures, joys and sufferings seemed to bury his own failures.
Irving Stone
A man who has not suffered has nothing to tell with his paintings.
Irving Stone
What we know of others is our personal secret.
Irving Stone
Art's a staple. Like bread or wine or a warm coat in winter. Those who think it is a luxury have only a fragment of a mind. Man's spirit grows hungry for art in the same way his stomach growls for food.
Irving Stone
He made his colours, built his stretchers, plastered his canvas, painted his pictures, carpentered his frames, and painted them. 'Too bad I can't buy my own pictures,' he murmured aloud. 'Then I'd be completely self-sufficient.'
Irving Stone
When I have trouble writing, I step outside my studio into the garden and pull weeds until my mind clears--I find weeding to be the best therapy there is for writer's block.
Irving Stone
God did not create us to abandon us.
Irving Stone
Normal people do not create art.
Irving Stone
He had been standing still for an artist, one of the more painful forms of death.
Irving Stone
Nature always resists the artist at the beginning.
Irving Stone
Life's not so bad after all. There are not only poison but also antidotes.
Irving Stone
Each of us has his own alphabet with which to create poetry.
Irving Stone
I knew that I had to find out more about van Gogh. Even though I was far too young, and felt I did not have sufficient technique to write a book about Vincent van Gogh, I knew I had to try. If I didn't I would never write anything else.
Irving Stone
From out of pain, beauty.
Irving Stone
Fortune is beastly - it is only suitable for cows and businessmen.
Irving Stone
Man's spirit grows hungry for art in the same way his stomach growls for food.
Irving Stone
After all, the world is still great.
Irving Stone
Our secret thoughts - do they ever show up? The small flame of our soul can be burning hot, but no one comes to its warmth. Passersby see only a small whiff going through the chimney. Don't we need to take care of that flame, cherish it and patiently wait until someone will come and sit at it, do we?
Irving Stone
