More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh

Vincent Van Gogh

Vincent Van Gogh
Man is not on the earth solely for his own happiness. He is there to realize great things for humanity.

What preys on my mind is simply this one question: what am I good for, could I not be of service or use in some way?
Vincent Van Gogh
A good picture is equivalent to a good deed.
Vincent Van Gogh
For loneliness, worries, difficulties, the unsatisfied need for kindness and sympathy - that is what is hard to bear.
Vincent Van Gogh
I assure you that there's a lot involved in compositions with figures. ... It's like weaving... you must control and keep an eye on several things at once.
Vincent Van Gogh
The only time I feel alive is when I'm painting.
Vincent Van Gogh
What molting time is to birds, so adversity or misfortune is ... for us humans.
Vincent Van Gogh
