More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh

Image
One must work and dare if one really wants 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
There is the same difference in a person before and after he is in love, as there is in an unlighted lamp and one that is burning.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Love always causes trouble, that's true, but in its favour, it energizes.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Christ is more of an artist than the artists he works in the living spirit and the living flesh, he makes men instead of statues.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Be clearly aware of the stars and infinity on high. Then life seems almost enchanted after all.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Do not quench your inspiration and your imagination do not become the slave of your model.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
That this awareness of my own fallibility will prevent me from making many mistakes doesn't alter the fact that I'm bound to make a great many mistakes anyway. But if we fall, we get up again!
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
What preys on my mind is simply this one question: what am I good for, could I not be of service or use in some way?
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
The large majority of people are asleep and do not wish to wake up.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
In an artist's life, death is perhaps not the most difficult thing.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I confess I do not know why, but looking at the stars always makes me dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I never get tired of the blue sky.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
The painter of the future will be a colorist unlike anything yet.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I feel the need of relations and friendship, of affection, of friendly intercourse.... I cannot miss these things without feeling, as does any other intelligent man, a void and a deep need.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
We must not judge God from this world. It's just a study that didn't come off. It's only a master who could make such a blunder.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
The great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together. And great things are not something accidental, but must certainly be willed.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
But you must love with a sublime , genuine , profound sympathy , with devotion, with intelligence , and you must try all the time to understand Him more, better and yet more. That will lead to God , that will lead to an unshakeable faith .
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
What lives in art and is eternally living, is first of all the painter and then the painting.
