I am not an adventurer by choice but by fate.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
A woman is not old as long as she loves and is loved
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
How to achieve such anomalies, such alterations and re-fashionings of reality so what comes out of it are lies, if you like, but lies that are more than literal truth.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
My brushwork is quite unsystematic. I slam the paint on in all sorts of ways and leave each result to take care of itself.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
If your inner voice is telling you that you can't paint, by all means, hurry up and paint and silence the voice.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
There are colors which cause each other to shine brilliantly, which form a couple which complete each other like man and woman.
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
One can speak poetry just by arranging colors well, just as one can say comforting things in music.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
To suffer without complaint is the only lesson we have to learn in this life
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I can't work without a model. I won't say I turn my back on nature ruthlessly in order to turn a study into a picture, arranging the colors, enlarging and simplifying but in the matter of form I am too afraid of departing from the possible and the true.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
One must never let the fire go out in one's soul, but keep it burning.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
But you people do not understand me, and I am afraid you never will.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
If one hasn't a horse, one is one's own horse.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Love is eternal, the aspect may change, but not the essence.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
For great things do not done just happen by impulse but are a succession of small things linked together.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Love always brings difficulties, that is true, but the good side of it is that it gives energy.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
What a simple thing death is, just as simple as the falling of an autumn leaf.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
It is no more easy to make a good picture than it is to find a diamond or a pearl. It means trouble and you risk your life for it.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
The more ugly, older, more cantankerous, more ill and poorer I become, the more I try to make amends by making my colours more vibrant, more balanced and beaming.
