More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
It was Richepin who said somewhere, 'The love of art means loss of real love'... True, but on the other hand, real love makes you disgusted with art.
Vincent Van Gogh
But I always think that the best way to know God is to love many things.
Vincent Van Gogh
If one has such an encounter it is to be expected it will bring him into conflict, especially conflict with himself, because one sometimes literally does not know what to do or what not to do. But is this struggle and even the mistakes one may make, not better, and do they not develop us more than if we keep systematically away from emotions?
Vincent Van Gogh
Do not think too deeply about these things - gradually they will become clearer to you
Vincent Van Gogh
Seeing that I am so busily occupied with myself just now, I want to try to paint my self-portrait in writing.
Vincent Van Gogh
The sadness will last forever.
Vincent Van Gogh
It is difficult to know oneself, but it isn't easy to paint oneself either.
Vincent Van Gogh
My opinion is that the best thing would be to work on till art lovers feel drawn toward it of their own accord, instead of having to praise or to explain it.
Vincent Van Gogh
Color in a picture is like enthusiasm in life.
Vincent Van Gogh
I've just kept on ceaselessly painting in order to learn painting.
Vincent Van Gogh
In an artist's life, death is perhaps not the most difficult thing.
Vincent Van Gogh
I am a man of passions, capable of and subject to doing more or less foolish things- which I happen to regret, more or less, afterwards.
Vincent Van Gogh
l can do very well without God both in my life and in my painting, but l cannot, ill as I am, do without something which is greater than l, which is my life — the power to create.
Vincent Van Gogh
...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
Painting is like having a bad mistress who spends and spends and it's never enough ... I tell myself that even if a tolerable study comes out of it from time to time, it would have been cheaper to buy it from somebody else.
Vincent Van Gogh
Doing little things well is a step toward doing big things better.
Vincent Van Gogh
For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
If the storm within gets too loud, I take a glass too much to stun myself.
Vincent Van Gogh
I devour nature ceaselessly. I exaggerate, sometimes I make changes in the subject but still I don't invent the whole picture. On the contrary, I find it already there. It's a question of picking out what one wants from nature.
Vincent Van Gogh
As practice makes perfect, I cannot but make progress each drawing one makes, each study one paints, is a step forward.
Vincent Van Gogh
