Vincent Van Gogh
I would like to leave this world and never return. I severed my ear, but how I wish that I had severed my heart. I shall never amount to anything.

Vincent Van Gogh
To save a life is a real and beautiful thing. To make a home for the homeless, yes, it is a thing that must be good whatever the world may say, it cannot be wrong.
Vincent Van Gogh

Vincent Van Gogh
I work even in the middle of the day, in the full sunshine, and I enjoy it like a cicada.
Vincent Van Gogh
Painting is a faith and that it brings with it the duty to pay no heed to public opinion - and that in it one conquers by perseverance and not by giving in.
Vincent Van Gogh
What a simple thing death is, just as simple as the falling of an autumn leaf.
Vincent Van Gogh
To suffer without complaint is the only lesson we have to learn in this life
Vincent Van Gogh
Sometimes art seems to be something very sublime, and, as you say, something sacred.
Vincent Van Gogh
As long as autumn lasts, I shall not have hands, canvas and colors enough to paint the beautiful things I see.
Vincent Van Gogh
A good picture is equivalent to a good deed.
