Image
For myself, I declare I don't know anything about it. But the sight of the stars always makes me dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I feel such a creative force in me: I am convinced that there will be a time when, let us say, I will make something good every day , on a regular basis....I am doing my very best to make every effort because I am longing so much to make beautiful things. But beautiful things mean painstaking work, disappointment, and perseverance.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Study, analyse the social structure - that's always far more effective than moralising.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I confess I do not know why, but looking at the stars always makes me dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
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
Image
But I always think that the best way to know God is to love many things.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
You have first to experience what you want to express.
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
Though I am often in the depths of misery, there is still calmness, pure harmony and music inside me. I see paintings or drawings in the poorest cottages, in the dirtiest corners. And my mind is driven towards these things with an irresistible momentum.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I am risking my life for my work, and half my reason has gone.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to, the feeling for the things themselves, for reality is more important than the feeling for pictures.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
We are surrounded by poetry on all sides.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
No blue without yellow and without orange, and if you do blue, then do yellow and orange as well, surely.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I am a fanatic! I feel a power within me...a fire that I may not quench, but must keep ablaze.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
A good painting should be the equivalent of a good deed.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
In a sense I'm glad that I've never learned how to paint.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I can't change the fact that my paintings don't sell. But the time will come when people will recognize that they are worth more than the value of the paints used in the picture.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I believe I do much better for the time being by first copying some good things than by working without that foundation
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Don't lose heart if it's very difficult at times, everything will come out all right and nobody can in the beginning do as he wishes.
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.
