Vincent Van Gogh
Image
But by fighting the difficulties in which one finds oneself, an inner strength develops from within our heart, which improves in life's fight.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
There is no blue without yellow and without orange.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Well, do you know what I hope for, once I allow myself to begin to hope? [...] That you find in your love for people something not only to work for, but to comfort and restore you when there is a need.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
And love makes one calmer about many things, and in that way, one is more fit for one's work.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
For loneliness, worries, difficulties, the unsatisfied need for kindness and sympathy - that is what is hard to bear.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Though I am often in the depths of misery, there is still calmness, pure harmony and music inside me.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
What a simple thing death is, just as simple as the falling of an autumn leaf.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
