Image
To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one's fling from time to time, smoke one's pipe, and drink one's coffee in peace
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
It always strikes me, and it is very peculiar, that, whenever we see the image of indescribable and unutterable desolation—of loneliness, poverty, and misery, the end and extreme of things—the thought of God comes into one's mind.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I am seeking, I am striving, I am in it with all my heart.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I am a fanatic! I feel a power within me...a fire that I may not quench, but must keep ablaze.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I try more and more to be myself, caring relatively little whether people approve or disapprove.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Occasionally, in times of worry, I've longed to be stylish, but on second thought I say no-just let me be myself-and express rough, yet true things with rough workmanship.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
What lives in art and is eternally living, is first of all the painter and then the painting.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
There is but one Paris and however hard living may be here, and if it became worse and harder even—the French air clears up the brain and does good—a world of good.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I don't know if I can convey the postman as I feel him... Unfortunately he cannot pose, and a painting demands an intelligent model.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
If the storm within gets too loud, I take a glass too much to stun myself.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I am always doing what I can't do yet in order to learn how to do it.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Rembrandt is so deeply mysterious that he says things for which there are no words in any language.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I want to touch people with my art. I want them to say he feels deeply, he feels tenderly.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Both she and I have grief enough and trouble enough, but as for regrets – neither of us have any.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
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
Image
I had a new idea in my head... this time it's just simply my bedroom, only here colour is to do everything, and, giving by its simplification a grander style to things, is to be suggestive here of rest or of sleep in general. In a word, to look at the picture ought to rest the brain or rather the imagination.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
One can speak poetry just by arranging colors well, just as one can say comforting things in music.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
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
Image
It is with the reading of books the same as with looking at pictures one must, without doubt, without hesitations, with assurance, admire what is beautiful.
