More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
I believe that one thinks much more soundly if the thoughts arise from direct contact with things, than if one looks at things with the aim of finding this or that in them.
Vincent Van Gogh
No blue without yellow and without orange, and if you do blue, then do yellow and orange as well, surely.
Vincent Van Gogh
If you end up falling in love with someone, it's because of them. If you end up hating someone, it's because of you.
Vincent Van Gogh
Conscience is a man's compass.
Vincent Van Gogh
There are so many people, especially among our comrades, who imagine that words are nothing - on the contrary, isn't it true that saying a thing well is as interesting and as difficult as painting it?
Vincent Van Gogh
It is the language of nature to which one has to listen.
Vincent Van Gogh
By working hard, old man, I hope to make something good one day. I haven't yet, but I am pursuing it and fighting for it . . . .
Vincent Van Gogh
If one truly loves nature one finds beauty everywhere.
Vincent Van Gogh
And painted portraits have a life of their own that comes from deep in the soul of the painter and where the machine can't go.
Vincent Van Gogh
To express the love of two lovers by a marriage of two complementary colors, their mingling and their opposition, the mysterious vibrations of Kindred tones. To express the thought of a brow by the radiance of light tone against a somber background to express hope by some star, the eagerness of a soul by a sunset radiance.
Vincent Van Gogh
I want to paint what I feel, and feel what I paint.
Vincent Van Gogh
It seems to me it's a painter's duty to try to put an idea into his work.
Vincent Van Gogh
It is good to love many things
Vincent Van Gogh
To paint nature you must be in it a long time.
Vincent Van Gogh
What has changed is that my life then was less difficult and my future seemingly less gloomy, but as far as my inner self, my way of looking at things and of thinking is concerned, that has not changed. But if there has indeed been a change, then it is that I think, believe and love more seriously now what I thought, believed and loved even then.
Vincent Van Gogh
If one were to say but few words, though ones with meaning, one would do better than to say many that were only empty sounds, and just as easy to utter as they were of little use.
Vincent Van Gogh
It is a pity that, as one gradually gains experience, one loses one's youth.
Vincent Van Gogh
You have to first experience what you want to express
Vincent Van Gogh
No, no thought to the winnings. One loves because one loves.
Vincent Van Gogh
I put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process.
Vincent Van Gogh
