More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
The beginning is perhaps more difficult than anything else, but keep heart, it will turn out all right.
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
There are colors which cause each other to shine brilliantly, which form a couple which complete each other like man and woman.
Vincent Van Gogh
I confess I do not know why, but looking at the stars always makes me dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
In a sense I'm glad that I've never learned how to paint.
Vincent Van Gogh
In an artist's life, death is perhaps not the most difficult thing.
Vincent Van Gogh
What is true is that I have at times earned my own crust of bread, and at other times a friend has given it to me out of the goodness of his heart. I have lived whatever way I could, for better or for worse, taking things just as they came.
Vincent Van Gogh
Be clearly aware of the stars and infinity on high. Then life seems almost enchanted after all.
Vincent Van Gogh
Art is jealous, and demands our whole strength ... .
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
For great things do not done just happen by impulse but are a succession of small things linked together.
Vincent Van Gogh
The laws of the colors are unutterably beautiful, just because they are not accidental.
Vincent Van Gogh
The uglier, older, meaner, iller, poorer I get, the more I wish to take my revenge by doing brilliant color, well arranged, resplendent.
Vincent Van Gogh
But what's your ultimate goal, you'll say. That goal will become clearer, will take shape slowly and surely, as the croquis becomes a sketch and the sketch a painting, as one works more seriously, as one digs deeper into the originally vague idea, the first fugitive, passing thought, unless it becomes firm.
Vincent Van Gogh
One must spoil as many canvases as one succeeds with.
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
Sometimes art seems to be something very sublime, and, as you say, something sacred.
Vincent Van Gogh
A woman is not old as long as she loves and is loved
Vincent Van Gogh
It is difficult to know oneself, but it isn't easy to paint oneself either.
Vincent Van Gogh
If you work diligently... without saying to yourself beforehand, 'I want to make this or that,' if you work as though you were making a pair of shoes, without artistic preoccupation, you will not always find you do well. But the days you least expect it, you will find a subject which holds its own with the work of those who have gone before.
Vincent Van Gogh
