Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and death be like autumn leaves. Rabindranath Tagore What a simple thing death is, just as simple as the falling of an autumn leaf.

More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh

Image
Though I am often in the depths of misery, there is still calmness, pure harmony and music inside me. I see paintings or drawings in the poorest cottages, in the dirtiest corners. And my mind is driven towards these things with an irresistible momentum.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
The emotions are sometimes so strong that I work without knowing it. The strokes come like speech.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I work as diligently on my canvases as the laborers do in their fields.
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
Just slap something on it when you see a blank canvas staring at you with a sort of imbecility.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
You know, what makes the prison disappear is every deep, serious attachment. To be friends, to be brothers, to love that opens the prison through sovereign power, through a most powerful spell. But he who doesn't have that remains in death. But where sympathy springs up again, life springs up again.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
But what's your ultimate goal, you'll say. That goal will become clearer, will take shape slowly and surely, as the croquis becomes a sketch and the sketch a painting, as one works more seriously, as one digs deeper into the originally vague idea, the first fugitive, passing thought, unless it becomes firm.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I do not intend to spare myself, not to avoid emotions or difficulties. I don't care much whether I live a longer or shorter time... the world concerns me only in so far as I feel a certain debt toward it, because I have walked on this earth for thirty years, and out of gratitude I want to leave some souvenir.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Painters understand nature and love it, and teach us to see.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
To the one party, woman is always heresy and diabolical. To me, the opposite.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
But on the road that I'm on I must continue if I do nothing, if I don't study, if I don't keep on trying, then I'm lost, then woe betide me. That's how I see this, to keep on, keep on, that's what's needed.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I will not live without love.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I always dream a painting like that, with a group of lively figures of the pals.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Success is sometimes the outcome of a whole string of failures.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
You can't be at the pole and the equator at the same time. You must choose your own line, as I hope to do, and it will probably be color.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Painting is a faith, and it imposes the duty to disregard public opinion.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
If your inner voice is telling you that you can't paint, by all means, hurry up and paint and silence the voice.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
It is looking at things for a long time that ripens you and gives you a deeper meaning.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
To die for the sake of dying - I prefer to die of passion than to die of boredom!
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Man is not on the earth solely for his own happiness. He is there to realize great things for humanity.
Vincent Van Gogh
