Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I hope I shall be able to make some drawings in which there is something human.

... life is too short to do the whole.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
What is true is that I have at times earned my own crust of bread, and at other times a friend has given it to me out of the goodness of his heart. I have lived whatever way I could, for better or for worse, taking things just as they came.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Do you know what makes the prison disappear? Every deep, genuine affection. Being friends, being brothers, loving, that is what opens the prison, with supreme power, by some magic force. Without these one stays dead. But whenever affection is revived, there life revives.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
What preys on my mind is simply this one question: what am I good for, could I not be of service or use in some way?
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I don't know anything with certainty, but seeing the stars makes me dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I see drawings and pictures in the poorest huts, in the dirtiest corner. And my mind is drawn toward these things by an irresistible force.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image

In a word, to look at the picture ought to rest the brain or rather the imagination.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Painting it was hard graft... in addition red, yellow, brown ochre, black, terra sienna, bistre, and the result is a red-brown that varies from bistre to deep wine-red and to pale, blond reddish.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
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
Image
I never get tired of the blue sky.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Ah, Manet has come very, very close to it and Courbet - the marrying of form and colour.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
The only thing to do is to go one's own way, to try one's best, to make the thing live.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
And painted portraits have a life of their own that comes from deep in the soul of the painter and where the machine can't go.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
But for one's health as you say, it is very necessary to work in the garden and see the flowers growing.
