More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
I have played hell somewhat with the truthfulness of the colours.
Vincent Van Gogh
...to look at the stars always makes me dream, as simply as I dream over the black dots of a map representing towns and villages. Why, I ask myself, should the shining dots of the sky not be as accessible as the black dots on the map of France?
Vincent Van Gogh
It is better to be high-spirited even though one makes more mistakes, than to be narrow-minded and all too prudent.
Vincent Van Gogh
Just dash something down if you see a blank canvas staring at you with a certain imbecility. You do not know how paralyzing it is, that staring of a blank canvas which says to the painter: you don't know anything.
Vincent Van Gogh
The wheat field has ...poetry it is like a memory of something one has once seen. We can only make our pictures speak.
Vincent Van Gogh
One must learn to read, just as one must learn to see and learn to live.
Vincent Van Gogh
The only thing to do is to go one's own way, to try one's best, to make the thing live.
Vincent Van Gogh
Cobalt is a divine color and there is nothing as fine for putting an atmosphere round things. Carmine is the red of wine and is warm and lively like wine. The same goes for emerald green too. It's false economy to dispense with them, with those colors. Cadmium as well.
Vincent Van Gogh
Ah, Manet has come very, very close to it and Courbet - the marrying of form and colour.
Vincent Van Gogh
I confess I do not know why, but looking at the stars always makes me dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
I always dream a painting like that, with a group of lively figures of the pals.
Vincent Van Gogh
How lovely yellow is! It stands for the sun.
Vincent Van Gogh
I don't know anything with certainty, but seeing the stars makes me dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
The cypresses are always occupying my thoughts.
Vincent Van Gogh
If one wants to be active, one must not be afraid of going wrong, one must not be afraid of making mistakes now and then. Many people think that they will become good just by doing no harm -- but that's a lie.... That way lies stagnation, mediocrity.
Vincent Van Gogh
What is drawing? It is working oneself through an invisible iron wall that seems to stand between what one feels and what one can do.
Vincent Van Gogh
And in a picture I want to say something comforting, as music is comforting.
Vincent Van Gogh
a likeness different from the products of the God-fearing photographer.
Vincent Van Gogh
I tried to express through red and green the terrible passions of humanity.
Vincent Van Gogh
I cannot help thinking that the best way of knowing God is to love many things. Love this friend, this person, this thing, whatever you like, and you will be on the right road to understanding Him better.
Vincent Van Gogh
