More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
In the end we shall have had enough of cynicism, skepticism and humbug, and we shall want to live more musically.
Vincent Van Gogh
No blue without yellow and without orange, and if you do blue, then do yellow and orange as well, surely.
Vincent Van Gogh
I began to paint again, even though I could barely hold the brush, but knowing exactly what I wanted to paint, I began three more large canvases... of large wheat fields under cloudy skies, and it did not take a great deal to express sadness and loneliness... I believe these paintings say what words cannot.
Vincent Van Gogh
My sketchbook is a witness of what I am experiencing, scribbling things whenever they happen.
Vincent Van Gogh
And when I read, and really I do not read so much, only a few authors, - a few men that I discovered by accident - I do this because they look at things in a broader, milder and more affectionate way than I do, and because they know life better, so that I can learn from them.
Vincent Van Gogh
I shouldn't precisely have chosen madness if there had been any choice, but once such a thing has taken hold of you, you can't very well get out of it.
Vincent Van Gogh
Well, do you know what I hope for, once I allow myself to begin to hope? [...] That you find in your love for people something not only to work for, but to comfort and restore you when there is a need.
Vincent Van Gogh
Art demands constant observation.
Vincent Van Gogh
Close friends are truly life's treasures. Sometimes they know us better than we know ourselves. With gentle honesty, they are there to guide and support us, to share our laughter and our tears. Their presence reminds us that we are never really alone.
Vincent Van Gogh
The lamps are burning and the starry sky is over it all.
Vincent Van Gogh
Only when I fall do I get up again.
Vincent Van Gogh
How rich art is, if one can only remember what one has seen, one is never empty of thoughts or truly lonely, never alone.
Vincent Van Gogh
I am unable to describe exactly what is the matter with me now and then there are horrible fits of anxiety, apparently without cause, or otherwise a feeling of emptiness and fatigue in the head.
Vincent Van Gogh
Ah, Manet has come very, very close to it and Courbet - the marrying of form and colour.
Vincent Van Gogh
The sunflower is mine, in a way.
Vincent Van Gogh
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
What color is in a picture, enthusiasm is in life.
Vincent Van Gogh
Painting is a faith, and it imposes the duty to disregard public opinion.
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
The sadness will last forever.
Vincent Van Gogh
