More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
I wish they would take me as I am.
Vincent Van Gogh
Painters understand nature and love it, and teach us to see.
Vincent Van Gogh
It interests me tremendously to make copies... I started it by chance and I find it teaches me things.
Vincent Van Gogh
I experience a period of frightening clarity in those moments when nature is so beautiful. I am no longer sure of myself, and the paintings appear as in a dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
It is looking at things for a long time that ripens you and gives you a deeper meaning.
Vincent Van Gogh
It is only too true that a lot of artists are mentally ill - it's a life which, to put it mildly, makes one an outsider. I'm all right when I completely immerse myself in work, but I'll always remain half crazy.
Vincent Van Gogh
I do not intend to spare myself, not to avoid emotions or difficulties. I don't care much whether I live a longer or shorter time... the world concerns me only in so far as I feel a certain debt toward it, because I have walked on this earth for thirty years, and out of gratitude I want to leave some souvenir.
Vincent Van Gogh
Everywhere we look, complex magic of nature blazes before our eyes.
Vincent Van Gogh
I myself believe that there is in every painter's life a period of making absurdities. In my case I think that period is already long past.
Vincent Van Gogh
Art demands persistent work, work in spite of everything, and continuous observations. By persistent, I mean not only continuous work, but also not giving up your opinion at the bidding of such and such a person.
Vincent Van Gogh
There is peace even in the storm
Vincent Van Gogh
For me work is an absolute necessity, indeed I can't really drag it out, I take no more pleasure in anything than in work, that's to say, pleasure in other things stops immediately and I become melancholy if I can't get on with the work.
Vincent Van Gogh
How right it is to love flowers and the greenery of pines and ivy and hawthorn hedges they have been with us from the very beginning.
Vincent Van Gogh
Painting is a faith, and it imposes the duty to disregard public opinion.
Vincent Van Gogh
It is good to love many things
Vincent Van Gogh
Art is something greater and higher than our own skill or knowledge or learning. That art is something which, though produced by human hands, is not wrought by hands alone, but wells up from a deeper source, from a man's soul.
Vincent Van Gogh
I'm now painting with all the elan of a Marseillais eating soup, which won't surprise you when I tell you I'm painting large sunflowers. The idea? To decorate the studio, now there's hope of Gauguin living here. I aim at a dozen panels of sunflowers in the room I've set aside for Gauguin.
Vincent Van Gogh
Love is eternal, the aspect may change, but not the essence.
Vincent Van Gogh
And love makes one calmer about many things, and in that way, one is more fit for one's work.
Vincent Van Gogh
Only when I fall do I get up again.
Vincent Van Gogh
