I work even in the middle of the day, in the full sunshine, and I enjoy it like a cicada.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
And love makes one calmer about many things, and in that way, one is more fit for one's work.

Vincent Van Gogh
Image
The world concerns me only in so far as I have a certain debt and duty to it, because I have lived in it for thirty years and owe to it to leave behind some souvenir in the shape of drawings and paintings – not done to please any particular movement, but within which a genuine human sentiment is expressed.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
For me work is an absolute necessity, indeed I can't really drag it out, I take no more pleasure in anything than in work, that's to say, pleasure in other things stops immediately and I become melancholy if I can't get on with the work.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Conscience is a man's compass, and though the needle sometimes deviates, though one often perceives irregularities in directing one's course by it, still one must try to follow its direction.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
One must learn to read, just as one must learn to see and learn to live.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.
