More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh

Image
But you people do not understand me, and I am afraid you never will.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
What am I in the eyes of most people - a nonentity, an eccentric, or an unpleasant person - somebody who has no position in society and will never have in short, the lowest of the low. All right, then - even if that were absolutely true, then I should one day like to show by my work what such an eccentric, such a nobody, has in his heart.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Everywhere we look, complex magic of nature blazes before our eyes.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I am still far from being what I want to be, but with God's help I shall succeed.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
What molting time is to birds, so adversity or misfortune is ... for us humans.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
In the fullness of artistic life there is, and remains, and will always come back at times, that homesick longing for the truly ideal life that can never come true.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
It interests me tremendously to make copies... I started it by chance and I find it teaches me things.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I feel a certain calm. There is safety in the midst of danger. What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?
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
I put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I am risking my life for my work, and half my reason has gone.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I am seeking, I am striving, I am in it with all my heart.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Sometimes art seems to be something very sublime, and, as you say, something sacred.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
To paint nature you must be in it a long time.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I lost my job as an art salesman. It was the customer's fault. He wanted to buy the wrong paintings.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
What lives in art and is eternally living, is first of all the painter and then the painting.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
To express hope by some star, the eagerness of a soul by a sunset radiance. Certainly there is nothing in that of stereoscopic realism, but is it not something that actually exists?
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Conscience is a man's compass, and though the needle sometimes deviates, though one often perceives irregularities in directing one's course by it, still one must try to follow its direction.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
One of the hardest things to do is to paint darkness which nonetheless has light in it.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I must continue to follow the path I take now. If I do nothing, if I study nothing, if I cease searching, then, woe is me, I am lost. That is how I look at it - keep going, keep going come what may.
