More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh

Vincent Van Gogh
When I have a model who is quiet and steady and with whom I am acquainted, then I draw repeatedly 'til there is one drawing that is different from the rest, which does not look like an ordinary study, but more typical and with more feeling.
Vincent Van Gogh

Vincent Van Gogh
Sometimes I long so much to do landscape, just as one would go for a long walk to refresh oneself, and in all of nature, in trees for instance, I see expression and a soul.
Vincent Van Gogh
Let us keep courage and try to be patient and gentle. And let us not mind being eccentric, and make distinction between good and evil.
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 it is one's duty to paint the rich and magnificent aspects of nature. We need gaiety and happiness, hope and love.
Vincent Van Gogh
As a painter I shall never signify anything of importance. I feel it Absolutely.
Vincent Van Gogh
The world concerns me only in so far as I have a certain debt and duty to it, because I have lived in it for thirty years and owe to it to leave behind some souvenir in the shape of drawings and paintings – not done to please any particular movement, but within which a genuine human sentiment is expressed.
Vincent Van Gogh
I believe more and more that God must not be judged on this earth. It is one of His sketches that has turned out badly.
Vincent Van Gogh
The sight of stars makes me dream.
