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.

Image
It is better to be high-spirited even though one makes more mistakes, than to be narrow-minded and all too prudent.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
A good picture is equivalent to a good deed.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
What color is in a picture, enthusiasm is in life.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Nature always begins by resisting the artist, but he who really takes it seriously does not allow that resistance to put him off his stride on the contrary, it is that much more of a stimulus to fight for victory.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
One must work and dare if one really wants to live.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I always think photographs abominable, and I don't like to have them around, particularly not those of persons I know and love. Those photographic portraits wither much sooner than we ourselves do, whereas the painted portrait is a thing which is felt, done with love.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
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
Image
Exaggerate the essential, leave the obvious vague.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
As we advance in life it becomes more and more difficult, but in fighting the difficulties the inmost strength of the heart is developed.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
The thing has already taken form in my mind before I start it. The first attempts are absolutely unbearable. I say this because I want you to know that if you see something worthwhile in what I am doing, it is not by accident but because of real direction and purpose.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
To express a marriage of two complementary colors, their mingling and their opposition, the mysterious vibrations of kindred tones.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
If one truly loves nature one finds beauty everywhere.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Well, I dare not allow myself any illusions, and I am afraid it may never happen that Father and Mother will really appreciate my art. It is not their fault we do not see the same things with the same eyes, or have the same thoughts raised in us by them. They will never be able to understand what painting is.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Everyone who works with love and with intelligence finds in the very sincerity of his love for nature and art a kind of armor against the opinions of other people.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Modern reality has got such a hold on us that... when we attempt to reconstruct the ancient days in our thoughts...the minor events of our lives tear us away from our meditations, and... thrust us back into our personal [problems]
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Normality is a paved road: It’s comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I am seeking, I am striving, I am in it with all my heart.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
...to look at the stars always makes me dream, as simply as I dream over the black dots of a map representing towns and villages. Why, I ask myself, should the shining dots of the sky not be as accessible as the black dots on the map of France?
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
What is drawing? It is working oneself through an invisible iron wall that seems to stand between what one feels and what one can do.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
As long as autumn lasts, I shall not have hands, canvas and colors enough to paint the beautiful things I see.
