More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
If the storm within gets too loud, I take a glass too much to stun myself.
Vincent Van Gogh
Often whole days pass without my speaking to anyone, except to ask for diner or coffee. And it has been like that form the beginning.
Vincent Van Gogh
I began to paint again, even though I could barely hold the brush, but knowing exactly what I wanted to paint, I began three more large canvases... of large wheat fields under cloudy skies, and it did not take a great deal to express sadness and loneliness... I believe these paintings say what words cannot.
Vincent Van Gogh
We spent our whole lives in unconsous excercise of the art of expressing our thoughts with the help of words
Vincent Van Gogh
Love is eternal, the aspect may change, but not the essence.
Vincent Van Gogh
Spring is the fresh green of young corn and the pink blush of blossoms. Autumn contrasts the yellowed foilage with violet hues. Winter is the white of snow against its black forms ... Summer is the contrast of blues and the golden bronze of the corn.
Vincent Van Gogh
I want to paint men and women with that something of the external which the halo used to symbolize, and which we now seek to give by the actual radiance and vibrancy of our colorings.
Vincent Van Gogh
I dream of painting and then I paint my dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.
Vincent Van Gogh
Be clearly aware of the stars and infinity on high. Then life seems almost enchanted after all.
Vincent Van Gogh
The more ugly, old, nasty, ill, and poor I become the more I want to get my own back by producing vibrant, well-arranged, radiant colour.
Vincent Van Gogh
If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is a grass in the beginning.
Vincent Van Gogh
I feel a certain calm. There is safety in the midst of danger. What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?
Vincent Van Gogh
I lost my job as an art salesman. It was the customer's fault. He wanted to buy the wrong paintings.
Vincent Van Gogh
Great things do not just happen by impulse, but as a succession of small things linked together.
Vincent Van Gogh
One can never study nature too much and too hard
Vincent Van Gogh
People are often unable to do anything, imprisoned as they are in I don't know what kind of terrible, terrible, oh such terrible cage.
Vincent Van Gogh
Even the knowledge of my own fallibility cannot keep me from making mistakes. Only when I fall do I get up again.
Vincent Van Gogh
To save a life is a real and beautiful thing. To make a home for the homeless, yes, it is a thing that must be good whatever the world may say, it cannot be wrong.
Vincent Van Gogh
Perhaps someday everyone will have neurosis.
Vincent Van Gogh
