More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
There are colors which cause each other to shine brilliantly, which form a couple which complete each other like man and woman.
Vincent Van Gogh
The painter of the future will be a colorist unlike anything yet.
Vincent Van Gogh
How right it is to love flowers and the greenery of pines and ivy and hawthorn hedges they have been with us from the very beginning.
Vincent Van Gogh
Normality is a paved road: It’s comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it.
Vincent Van Gogh
Painting is like having a bad mistress who spends and spends and it's never enough ... I tell myself that even if a tolerable study comes out of it from time to time, it would have been cheaper to buy it from somebody else.
Vincent Van Gogh
If boyhood and youth are but vanity, must it not be our ambition to become men?
Vincent Van Gogh
The victory one would gain after a whole life of work and effort is better than one that is gained sooner.
Vincent Van Gogh
Those Dutchmen had hardly any imagination or fantasy, but their good taste and their scientific knowledge of composition were enormous.
Vincent Van Gogh
Do you know what makes the prison disappear? Every deep, genuine affection. Being friends, being brothers, loving, that is what opens the prison, with supreme power, by some magic force. Without these one stays dead. But whenever affection is revived, there life revives.
Vincent Van Gogh
To paint nature you must be in it a long time.
Vincent Van Gogh
Oh! I must somehow manage to do a figure in a few strokes.
Vincent Van Gogh
Painting as it is now promises to become more subtle - more like music and less like sculpture - and above all it promises color. If only it keeps this promise.
Vincent Van Gogh
The heart of man is very much like the sea, it has its storms, it has its tides and in its depths it has its pearls too
Vincent Van Gogh
That this awareness of my own fallibility will prevent me from making many mistakes doesn't alter the fact that I'm bound to make a great many mistakes anyway. But if we fall, we get up again!
Vincent Van Gogh
The great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together. And great things are not something accidental, but must certainly be willed.
Vincent Van Gogh
Often whole days pass without my speaking to anyone.
Vincent Van Gogh
One must spoil as many canvases as one succeeds with.
Vincent Van Gogh
It's better to have a gay life of it than to commit suicide.
Vincent Van Gogh
I am not strictly speaking mad, for my mind is absolutely normal in the intervals, and even more so than before. But during the attacks it is terrible - and then I lose consciousness of everything. But that spurs me on to work and to seriousness, as a miner who is always in danger makes haste in what he does.
Vincent Van Gogh
To try to understand the real significance of what the great artists, the serious masters, tell us in their masterpieces, that leads to God one man wrote or told it in a book another, in a picture.
Vincent Van Gogh
