Love always brings difficulties, that is true, but the good side of it is that it gives energy.
Vincent Van Gogh
Doing little things well is a step toward doing big things better.
Vincent Van Gogh
The only time I feel alive is when I'm painting.
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
You will say that everyone has seen landscapes and figures from childhood on. The question is: Has everybody also been reflexive as a child? Has everybody who has seen them also loved heath, fields, meadows, woods, and the snow and the rain and the s.
Vincent Van Gogh
The lamps are burning and the starry sky is over it all.

Do you know that drawing with words is also an art... ?
Vincent Van Gogh
I am not strictly speaking mad, for my mind is absolutely normal in the intervals, and even more so than before. But during the attacks it is terrible - and then I lose consciousness of everything. But that spurs me on to work and to seriousness, as a miner who is always in danger makes haste in what he does.
Vincent Van Gogh
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
If you work diligently... without saying to yourself beforehand, 'I want to make this or that,' if you work as though you were making a pair of shoes, without artistic preoccupation, you will not always find you do well. But the days you least expect it, you will find a subject which holds its own with the work of those who have gone before.
Vincent Van Gogh

Vincent Van Gogh
If your inner voice is telling you that you can't paint, by all means, hurry up and paint and silence the voice.
Vincent Van Gogh
Both she and I have grief enough and trouble enough, but as for regrets – neither of us have any.
Vincent Van Gogh
Art is something greater and higher than our own skill or knowledge or learning. That art is something which, though produced by human hands, is not wrought by hands alone, but wells up from a deeper source, from a man's soul.
Vincent Van Gogh
If I were to think of and dwell on disastrous possibilities, I could do nothing. I throw myself headlong into my work, and come up again with my studies.
Vincent Van Gogh
I don't know anything with certainty, but seeing the stars makes me dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
