More quotes by 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
Painters understand nature and love it, and teach us to see.
Vincent Van Gogh
Often whole days pass without my speaking to anyone.
Vincent Van Gogh
There is no blue without yellow and without orange, and if you put in blue, then you must put in yellow, and orange too, mustn't you? Oh well, you will tell me that what I write to you are only banalities.
Vincent Van Gogh
I've never felt a desire (and I don't believe I ever shall) to bring the public to my work... a certain popularity seems to me the least desirable of things.
Vincent Van Gogh
Love a friend, love a wife, something, whatever you like, but one must love with a lofty and serious intimate sympathy, with strength, with intelligence, and one must always try to know deeper, better, and more.
Vincent Van Gogh
To express a marriage of two complementary colors, their mingling and their opposition, the mysterious vibrations of kindred tones.
Vincent Van Gogh
When using colors to recreate a general harmony of tones in nature, one loses it by painfully exact imitation. One keeps it by recreating in an equivalent color range, and that may not be exactly, or far from exactly, like the model.
Vincent Van Gogh
I myself am quite absorbed by the delicate yellow, delicate soft green, delicate violet of a ploughed and weeded piece of soil.
Vincent Van Gogh
Paintings have a life of their own that derives from the painter's soul.
Vincent Van Gogh
Close friends are truly life's treasures. Sometimes they know us better than we know ourselves. With gentle honesty, they are there to guide and support us, to share our laughter and our tears. Their presence reminds us that we are never really alone.
Vincent Van Gogh
If boyhood and youth are but vanity, must it not be our ambition to become men?
Vincent Van Gogh
If one hasn't a horse, one is one's own horse.
Vincent Van Gogh
I want to touch people with my art. I want them to say he feels deeply, he feels tenderly.
Vincent Van Gogh
Painting demands an intelligent model.
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
Do not think too deeply about these things - gradually they will become clearer to you
Vincent Van Gogh
I don't know anything with certainty, but seeing the stars makes me dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
It is difficult to know oneself, but it isn't easy to paint oneself either.
Vincent Van Gogh
Though I am often in the depths of misery, there is still calmness, pure harmony and music inside me. I see paintings or drawings in the poorest cottages, in the dirtiest corners. And my mind is driven towards these things with an irresistible momentum.
Vincent Van Gogh
