Image
I am seeking, I am striving, I am in it with all my heart.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I work as diligently on my canvases as the laborers do in their fields.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Great things do not just happen by impulse, but as a succession of small things linked together.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I shouldn't precisely have chosen madness if there had been any choice, but once such a thing has taken hold of you, you can't very well get out of it.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
You have first to experience what you want to express.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Do you know that drawing with words is also an art... ?
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
So often, a visit to a bookshop has cheered me, and reminded me that there are good things in the world.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Study, analyse the social structure - that's always far more effective than moralising.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Well, I dare not allow myself any illusions, and I am afraid it may never happen that Father and Mother will really appreciate my art. It is not their fault we do not see the same things with the same eyes, or have the same thoughts raised in us by them. They will never be able to understand what painting is.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Keep your love of nature, for that is the true way to understand art more and more.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Conscience is a man's compass.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I am an artist... It's self-evident that what that word implies is looking for something all the time without ever finding it in full. It is the opposite of saying, 'I know all about it. I've already found it.' As far as I'm concerned, the word means, 'I am looking. I am hunting for it. I am deeply involved.'
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I confess I do not know why, but looking at the stars always makes me dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
In my view, I am often immensely rich, not in money, but (although just now perhaps not all the time) rich because I have found my metier, something I can devote myself to heart and soul and that gives inspiration and meaning to my life.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
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
Poetry surrounds us everywhere, but putting it on paper is, alas, not so easy as looking at it.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
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
Image
To try to understand the real significance of what the great artists, the serious masters, tell us in their masterpieces, that leads to God one man wrote or told it in a book another, in a picture.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
The thing has already taken form in my mind before I start it. The first attempts are absolutely unbearable. I say this because I want you to know that if you see something worthwhile in what I am doing, it is not by accident but because of real direction and purpose.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
It is no more easy to make a good picture than it is to find a diamond or a pearl. It means trouble and you risk your life for it.
