Quote

Don't lose heart if it's very difficult at times, everything will come out all right and nobody can in the beginning do as he wishes.

More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh

Image
To paint nature you must be in it a long time.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
So often, a visit to a bookshop has cheered me, and reminded me that there are good things in the world.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Great things are not something accidental, but must certainly be willed.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Conscience is a man's compass.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I devour nature ceaselessly. I exaggerate, sometimes I make changes in the subject but still I don't invent the whole picture. On the contrary, I find it already there. It's a question of picking out what one wants from nature.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Just slap something on it when you see a blank canvas staring at you with a sort of imbecility.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I often think of you all, one cannot do what one wants in life. The more you feel attached to a spot, the more ruthlessly you are compelled to leave it, but the memories remain, and one remembers - as in a looking glass, darkly - one's absent friends.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
That this awareness of my own fallibility will prevent me from making many mistakes doesn't alter the fact that I'm bound to make a great many mistakes anyway. But if we fall, we get up again!
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Man is not on the earth solely for his own happiness. He is there to realize great things for humanity.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I never get tired of the blue sky.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I sometimes think there is nothing so delightful as drawing.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Occasionally, in times of worry, I've longed to be stylish, but on second thought I say no-just let me be myself-and express rough, yet true things with rough workmanship.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
No, no thought to the winnings. One loves because one loves.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
To believe in God for me is to feel that there is a God, not a dead one, or a stuffed one, who with irresistible force urges us towards more loving.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
The sight of stars always sets me dreaming just as naively as those black dots on a map set me dreaming of towns and villages. Why should these points of light in the firmament, I wonder, be less accessible than the dark ones on the map of France? We take a train to go to Torascon or Roven and we take death to a star.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Since visiting the abatoirs of S. France I have stopped eating meat.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
It was Richepin who said somewhere, 'The love of art means loss of real love'... True, but on the other hand, real love makes you disgusted with art.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
If one were to say but few words, though ones with meaning, one would do better than to say many that were only empty sounds, and just as easy to utter as they were of little use.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
The more I become decomposed, the more sick and fragile I am, the more I become an artist.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
It is no more easy to make a good picture than it is to find a diamond or a pearl. It means trouble and you risk your life for it.
