More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
The Mediterranean has the color of mackerel, changeable I mean. You don't always know if it is green or violet, you can't even say it's blue, because the next moment the changing reflection has taken on a tint of rose or gray.
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
I often think of you all, one cannot do what one wants in life. The more you feel attached to a spot, the more ruthlessly you are compelled to leave it, but the memories remain, and one remembers - as in a looking glass, darkly - one's absent friends.
Vincent Van Gogh
The lamps are burning and the starry sky is over it all.
Vincent Van Gogh
It's better to have a gay life of it than to commit suicide.
Vincent Van Gogh
Though I am often in the depths of misery, there is still calmness, pure harmony and music inside me.
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
I assure you that there's a lot involved in compositions with figures. ... It's like weaving... you must control and keep an eye on several things at once.
Vincent Van Gogh
It interests me tremendously to make copies... I started it by chance and I find it teaches me things.
Vincent Van Gogh
Love always causes trouble, that's true, but in its favour, it energizes.
Vincent Van Gogh
Well, I am ploughing on my canvases as they do on their fields (the peasants). It goes badly enough in our profession - in fact that has always been so, but at the moment it is very bad.
Vincent Van Gogh
I confess I do not know why, but looking at the stars always makes me dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
There is nothing more beautiful than nature early in the morning.
Vincent Van Gogh
It astonishes me already when I compare my condition today with what it was a month ago. Before that I knew well enough one could fracture one's legs and arms and recover afterward, but I did not know that you could fracture the brain in your head and recover from that too.
Vincent Van Gogh
Yellow is capable of charming God.
Vincent Van Gogh
The sight of stars makes me dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
I shouldn't precisely have chosen madness if there had been any choice, but once such a thing has taken hold of you, you can't very well get out of it.
Vincent Van Gogh
One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul, and yet no one ever comes to sit by it.
Vincent Van Gogh
But I always think that the best way to know God is to love many things.
Vincent Van Gogh
Often whole days pass without my speaking to anyone.
Vincent Van Gogh
