More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
To save a life is a real and beautiful thing. To make a home for the homeless, yes, it is a thing that must be good whatever the world may say, it cannot be wrong.
Vincent Van Gogh
I try more and more to be myself, caring relatively little whether people approve or disapprove.
Vincent Van Gogh
As practice makes perfect, I cannot but make progress each drawing one makes, each study one paints, is a step forward.
Vincent Van Gogh
Conscience is a man's compass, and though the needle sometimes deviates, though one often perceives irregularities in directing one's course by it, still one must try to follow its direction.
Vincent Van Gogh
Let’s not forget that the little emotions are the great captains of our lives and we obey them without realizing it.
Vincent Van Gogh
Well, I am ploughing on my canvases as they do on their fields (the peasants). It goes badly enough in our profession - in fact that has always been so, but at the moment it is very bad.
Vincent Van Gogh
When using colors to recreate a general harmony of tones in nature, one loses it by painfully exact imitation. One keeps it by recreating in an equivalent color range, and that may not be exactly, or far from exactly, like the model.
Vincent Van Gogh
It is not only by one's impulses that one achieves greatness, but also by patiently filing away the steel wall that separates what one feels from what one is capable of doing.
Vincent Van Gogh
Color in a picture is like enthusiasm in life.
Vincent Van Gogh
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
The more I become decomposed, the more sick and fragile I am, the more I become an artist.
Vincent Van Gogh
Surely the true path is to dive deep into nature.
Vincent Van Gogh
Drawing is the root of everything, and the time spent on that is actually all profit.
Vincent Van Gogh
I always think photographs abominable, and I don't like to have them around, particularly not those of persons I know and love. Those photographic portraits wither much sooner than we ourselves do, whereas the painted portrait is a thing which is felt, done with love.
Vincent Van Gogh
An artist needn't be a clergyman or a churchwarden, but he certainly must have a warm heart for his fellow men.
Vincent Van Gogh
And love makes one calmer about many things, and in that way, one is more fit for one's work.
Vincent Van Gogh
What is done in love is done well.
Vincent Van Gogh
Life is not long for anybody, and the problem is only to make something of it.
Vincent Van Gogh
One can speak poetry just by arranging colors well, just as one can say comforting things in music.
Vincent Van Gogh
The painter of the future will be a colorist unlike anything yet.
Vincent Van Gogh
