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

More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
The cypresses are always occupying my thoughts.
Vincent Van Gogh
Poetry surrounds us everywhere, but putting it on paper is, alas, not so easy as looking at it.
Vincent Van Gogh
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
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
I know for sure that I have an instinct for color, and that it will come to me more and more, that painting is in the very marrow of my bones.
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
A good painting should be the equivalent of a good deed.
Vincent Van Gogh
I myself am quite absorbed by the delicate yellow, delicate soft green, delicate violet of a ploughed and weeded piece of soil.
Vincent Van Gogh
To paint nature you must be in it a long time.
Vincent Van Gogh
I want to touch people with my art. I want them to say he feels deeply, he feels tenderly.
Vincent Van Gogh
Let me stop there, but my God, how beautiful Shakespeare is, who else is as mysterious as he is his language and method are like a brush trembling with excitement and ecstasy. But one must learn to read, just as one must learn to see and learn to live.
Vincent Van Gogh
Drawing is the root of everything, and the time spent on that is actually all profit.
Vincent Van Gogh
There certainly is an affinity between a person and his work, but it is not easy to define what this affinity is, and on that question many judge quite wrongly.
Vincent Van Gogh
One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul, and yet no one ever comes to sit by it.
Vincent Van Gogh
Painting demands an intelligent model.
Vincent Van Gogh
My great longing is to make those very incorrectnesses, those deviations, remodellings, changes in reality, so that they may become, yes, lies if you like - but truer than the literal truth.
Vincent Van Gogh
Try to walk as much as you can, and keep your love for nature, for that is the true way to learn to understand art more and more. Painters understand nature and love her and teach us to see her. If one really loves nature, one can find beauty everywhere.
Vincent Van Gogh
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
To die for the sake of dying - I prefer to die of passion than to die of boredom!
Vincent Van Gogh
I have a firm faith in art, a firm confidence in its being a powerful stream which carries a man to a harbor, though he himself must do his bit too.
Vincent Van Gogh
