Normality is a paved road: It’s comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
What color is in a picture, enthusiasm is in life.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I do not know myself how I paint it. I sit down with a white board before the spot that strikes me. I look at what is before my eyes, and say to myself, that white board must become something.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Success is sometimes the outcome of a whole string of failures.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
a likeness different from the products of the God-fearing photographer.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I am always in the hope to express the love of two lovers by a marriage of two complementary colors - colors which marry each other... complement each other as a man and a woman do.
