Perhaps someday everyone will have neurosis.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Purity of soul and impurity of body can go together.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
It isn't an easy job to paint oneself - at any rate if it is to be different from a photograph. And you see - this, in my opinion, is the advantage that impressionism possesses over all the other things it is not banal, and one seeks after a deeper resemblance than the photograph.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Do not think too deeply about these things - gradually they will become clearer to you
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I feel the need of relations and friendship, of affection, of friendly intercourse.... I cannot miss these things without feeling, as does any other intelligent man, a void and a deep need.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
But after all I find in my work an echo of what struck me. I see that nature has told me something, has spoken to me, and that I have put it down in shorthand. In my shorthand there may be words that cannot be deciphered. There may be mistakes or gap
Vincent Van Gogh

The sight of stars makes me dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I've just kept on ceaselessly painting in order to learn painting.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
How can I be useful, of what service can I be? There is something inside me, what can it be?
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
It is difficult to know oneself, but it isn't easy to paint oneself either.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I want to do drawings which touch some people... In either figure or landscape I wish to express, not sentimental melancholy, but serious sorrow.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I don't know if I can convey the postman as I feel him... Unfortunately he cannot pose, and a painting demands an intelligent model.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
It is a pity that, as one gradually gains experience, one loses one's youth.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
You know, what makes the prison disappear is every deep, serious attachment. To be friends, to be brothers, to love that opens the prison through sovereign power, through a most powerful spell. But he who doesn't have that remains in death. But where sympathy springs up again, life springs up again.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Ah! Portraiture, portraiture with the thought, the soul of the model in it, that is what I think must come.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
It is the language of nature to which one has to listen.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
To exaggerate the fairness of hair, I come even to orange tones, chromes and pale yellow ... I make a plain background of the richest, intensest blue that I can contrive, and by this simple combination of the bright head against the rich blue background, I get a mysterious effect, like a star in the depths of an azure sky.
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

In an artist's life, death is perhaps not the most difficult thing.
