More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
An artist need not be a minister or a collector in church, but he must have a warm heart for people, and I find it a noble thing that, for example, no winter passed without The Graphic doing something to keep alive sympathy for the poor.
Vincent Van Gogh
I don't know if I can convey the postman as I feel him... Unfortunately he cannot pose, and a painting demands an intelligent model.
Vincent Van Gogh
Since visiting the abatoirs of S. France I have stopped eating meat.
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 want to touch people with my art. I want them to say he feels deeply, he feels tenderly.
Vincent Van Gogh
I want to paint men and women with that something of the external which the halo used to symbolize, and which we now seek to give by the actual radiance and vibrancy of our colorings.
Vincent Van Gogh
Painters understand nature and love it, and teach us to see.
Vincent Van Gogh
I must continue to follow the path I take now. If I do nothing, if I study nothing, if I cease searching, then, woe is me, I am lost. That is how I look at it - keep going, keep going come what may.
Vincent Van Gogh
I'll start with small things.
Vincent Van Gogh
My aim in life is to make pictures and drawings, as many and as well as I can then, at the end of my life... looking back with love and tender regret, and thinking, 'Oh, the pictures I might have made!'
Vincent Van Gogh
I am painting with the same enthusiasm as a Marseillaise eats bouillabaisse ... I am painting big sunflowers.
Vincent Van Gogh
If I were to think of and dwell on disastrous possibilities, I could do nothing. I throw myself headlong into my work, and come up again with my studies.
Vincent Van Gogh
I wish they would take me as I am.
Vincent Van Gogh
If one is master of one thing and understands one thing well, one has at the same time, insight into and understanding of many things.
Vincent Van Gogh
I confess I do not know why, but looking at the stars always makes me dream.
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
An artist needn't be a clergyman or a churchwarden, but he certainly must have a warm heart for his fellow men.
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
The laws of the colors are unutterably beautiful, just because they are not accidental.
Vincent Van Gogh
... life is too short to do the whole.
Vincent Van Gogh
