For myself, I declare I don't know anything about it. But the sight of the stars always makes me dream.

Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Conscience is a man's compass.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I think that I still have it in my heart someday to paint a bookshop with the front yellow and pink in the evening...like a light in the midst of the darkness.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
The more I become decomposed, the more sick and fragile I am, the more I become an artist.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
In the fullness of artistic life there is, and remains, and will always come back at times, that homesick longing for the truly ideal life that can never come true.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Study, analyse the social structure - that's always far more effective than moralising.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I never get tired of the blue sky.
Vincent Van Gogh

The sight of stars makes me dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
For great things do not done just happen by impulse but are a succession of small things linked together.
