It may be true that there is no God here, but there must be one not far off, and at such a moment one feels His presence which comes to the same as saying (and I readily give this sincere profession of faith): I believe in God, and that it is His wi
Vincent Van Gogh
I am working with the enthusiasm of a man from Marseilles eating bouillabaisse, which shouldn't come as a surprise to you because I am busy painting huge sunflowers.

Vincent Van Gogh
Ideas for work are coming to me in abundance...I'm going like a painting-locomotive.
Vincent Van Gogh
My brushwork is quite unsystematic. I slam the paint on in all sorts of ways and leave each result to take care of itself.
Vincent Van Gogh
Poetry surrounds us everywhere, but putting it on paper is, alas, not so easy as looking at it.

There is peace even in the storm
Vincent Van Gogh
If you end up falling in love with someone, it's because of them. If you end up hating someone, it's because of you.
Vincent Van Gogh
Conscience is a man's compass.
Vincent Van Gogh
Great things do not just happen by impulse, but as a succession of small things linked together.
Vincent Van Gogh
What color is in a picture, enthusiasm is in life.
Vincent Van Gogh
I take great care of myself by carefully shutting myself away.
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 work as diligently on my canvases as the laborers do in their fields.
Vincent Van Gogh
Whoever lives sincerely and encounters much trouble and disappointment without being bowed down is worth more than one who has always sailed before the wind and has only known prosperity.
Vincent Van Gogh
Painting it was hard graft... in addition red, yellow, brown ochre, black, terra sienna, bistre, and the result is a red-brown that varies from bistre to deep wine-red and to pale, blond reddish.
Vincent Van Gogh
What is drawing? It is working oneself through an invisible iron wall that seems to stand between what one feels and what one can do.
Vincent Van Gogh
Find things beautiful as much as you can, most people find too little beautiful.
Vincent Van Gogh
