More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh

Image
Be clearly aware of the stars and infinity on high. Then life seems almost enchanted after all.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Art is something greater and higher than our own skill or knowledge or learning. That art is something which, though produced by human hands, is not wrought by hands alone, but wells up from a deeper source, from a man's soul.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
It is with the reading of books the same as with looking at pictures one must, without doubt, without hesitations, with assurance, admire what is beautiful.
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
No, no thought to the winnings. One loves because one loves.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Love is eternal, the aspect may change, but not the essence.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
If you work diligently... without saying to yourself beforehand, 'I want to make this or that,' if you work as though you were making a pair of shoes, without artistic preoccupation, you will not always find you do well. But the days you least expect it, you will find a subject which holds its own with the work of those who have gone before.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I am risking my life for my work, and half my reason has gone.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
In a sense I'm glad that I've never learned how to paint.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
The more ugly, old, nasty, ill, and poor I become the more I want to get my own back by producing vibrant, well-arranged, radiant colour.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
a likeness different from the products of the God-fearing photographer.
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
If boyhood and youth are but vanity, must it not be our ambition to become men?
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
The heart of man is very much like the sea, it has its storms, it has its tides and in its depths it has its pearls too
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Here everything is so wholly what I consider beautiful. In other words, there is peace here.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I began to paint again, even though I could barely hold the brush, but knowing exactly what I wanted to paint, I began three more large canvases... of large wheat fields under cloudy skies, and it did not take a great deal to express sadness and loneliness... I believe these paintings say what words cannot.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
But you people do not understand me, and I am afraid you never will.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
As long as autumn lasts, I shall not have hands, canvas and colors enough to paint the beautiful things I see.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
That this awareness of my own fallibility will prevent me from making many mistakes doesn't alter the fact that I'm bound to make a great many mistakes anyway. But if we fall, we get up again!
