Quote

To believe in God for me is to feel that there is a God, not a dead one, or a stuffed one, who with irresistible force urges us towards more loving.

Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Though I am often in the depths of misery, there is still calmness, pure harmony and music inside me.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I tried to express through red and green the terrible passions of humanity.

If one truly loves nature one finds beauty everywhere.
Vincent Van Gogh

The large majority of people are asleep and do not wish to wake up.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
And when I read, and really I do not read so much, only a few authors, - a few men that I discovered by accident - I do this because they look at things in a broader, milder and more affectionate way than I do, and because they know life better, so that I can learn from them.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Find things beautiful as much as you can, most people find too little beautiful.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Do not think too deeply about these things - gradually they will become clearer to you
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
There are so many people, especially among our comrades, who imagine that words are nothing - on the contrary, isn't it true that saying a thing well is as interesting and as difficult as painting it?
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Only when I fall do I get up again.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Success is sometimes the outcome of a whole string of failures.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
For me work is an absolute necessity, indeed I can't really drag it out, I take no more pleasure in anything than in work, that's to say, pleasure in other things stops immediately and I become melancholy if I can't get on with the work.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
It is with the reading of books the same as with looking at pictures one must, without doubt, without hesitations, with assurance, admire what is beautiful.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
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.
