How right it is to love flowers and the greenery of pines and ivy and hawthorn hedges they have been with us from the very beginning.

Image
I felt my energy return and that I said to myself, in any event I'll recover from it, I'll pick up my pencil that I put down in my great discouragement and I'll get back to drawing, and from then on, it seems to me, everything has changed for me.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
To die for the sake of dying - I prefer to die of passion than to die of boredom!
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
You can feel the stars and the infinity of the sky since life, in spite of everything, is like a dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
We feel lonely now and then and long for friends and think we should be quite different and happier if we found a friend of whom we might say: β€œHe is the one.” But you, too, will begin to learn that there is much self-deception behind this longing if we yielded too much to it, it would lead us from the road.

The sunflower is mine, in a way.

It is only too true that a lot of artists are mentally ill - it's a life which, to put it mildly, makes one an outsider. I'm all right when I completely immerse myself in work, but I'll always remain half crazy.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
As we advance in life it becomes more and more difficult, but in fighting the difficulties the inmost strength of the heart is developed.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
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
Image
I had a new idea in my head... this time it's just simply my bedroom, only here colour is to do everything, and, giving by its simplification a grander style to things, is to be suggestive here of rest or of sleep in general. In a word, to look at the picture ought to rest the brain or rather the imagination.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I often think of you all, one cannot do what one wants in life. The more you feel attached to a spot, the more ruthlessly you are compelled to leave it, but the memories remain, and one remembers - as in a looking glass, darkly - one's absent friends.

Purity of soul and impurity of body can go together.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
And in a picture I want to say something comforting, as music is comforting.

Image
Man is not on the earth solely for his own happiness. He is there to realize great things for humanity.

I hope I shall be able to make some drawings in which there is something human.

An artist needn't be a clergyman or a churchwarden, but he certainly must have a warm heart for his fellow men.

That I was not suited to commerce or academic study in no way proves that I should also be unfit to be a painter.

Keep your love of nature, for that is the true way to understand art more and more.

The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore.
