Quote

How rich art is, if one can only remember what one has seen, one is never empty of thoughts or truly lonely, never alone.

Someday death will take us to another star.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I consciously choose the dog's path through life. I shall be poor I shall be a painter.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
The more you love, the more you suffer.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Often whole days pass without my speaking to anyone, except to ask for diner or coffee. And it has been like that form the beginning.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
In my view, I am often immensely rich, not in money, but (although just now perhaps not all the time) rich because I have found my metier, something I can devote myself to heart and soul and that gives inspiration and meaning to my life.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Poetry surrounds us everywhere, but putting it on paper is, alas, not so easy as looking at it.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
One must spoil as many canvases as one succeeds with.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
What is done in love is done well.
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
I don't know anything with certainty, but seeing the stars makes me dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
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
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
One begins by plaguing oneself to no purpose in order to be true to nature, and one concludes by working quietly from one's own palette alone, and then nature is the result.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Great things do not just happen by impulse, but as a succession of small things linked together.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Great things are not something accidental, but must certainly be willed.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
It is difficult to know oneself, but it isn't easy to paint oneself either.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I am no friend of present-day Christianity, though its Founder was sublime.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Even this artistic life, which we know is not real life, appears to me to be so alive and so vital that it would be a form ingratitude not to be content with it.
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?
