As you can see, I am immersing myself in color-I've held back from that until now and I don't regret it.

More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
I hope I shall be able to make some drawings in which there is something human.
Vincent Van Gogh
What is drawing? How does one get there? It's working one's way through an invisible iron wall that seems to stand between what one feels and what one can do. How can one get through that wall? - since hammering on it doesn't help at all. In my view, one must undermine the wall and grind through it slowly and patiently.
Vincent Van Gogh
I work as diligently on my canvases as the laborers do in their fields.
Vincent Van Gogh
I'm now painting with all the elan of a Marseillais eating soup, which won't surprise you when I tell you I'm painting large sunflowers. The idea? To decorate the studio, now there's hope of Gauguin living here. I aim at a dozen panels of sunflowers in the room I've set aside for Gauguin.
Vincent Van Gogh
It is the painting that makes me so happy these days.
Vincent Van Gogh
Color in a picture is like enthusiasm in life.
Vincent Van Gogh
Occasionally, in times of worry, I've longed to be stylish, but on second thought I say no-just let me be myself-and express rough, yet true things with rough workmanship.
Vincent Van Gogh
Rembrandt is so deeply mysterious that he says things for which there are no words in any language.
Vincent Van Gogh
But for one's health as you say, it is very necessary to work in the garden and see the flowers growing.
Vincent Van Gogh
So often, a visit to a bookshop has cheered me, and reminded me that there are good things in the world.
Vincent Van Gogh
Conscience is a man's compass, and though the needle sometimes deviates, though one often perceives irregularities in directing one's course by it, still one must try to follow its direction.
Vincent Van Gogh
The more you love, the more you suffer.
Vincent Van Gogh
I'll start with small things.
Vincent Van Gogh
I believe it is one's duty to paint the rich and magnificent aspects of nature. We need gaiety and happiness, hope and love.
Vincent Van Gogh
Admire as much as you can. Most people do not admire enough.
Vincent Van Gogh
It was Richepin who said somewhere, 'The love of art means loss of real love'... True, but on the other hand, real love makes you disgusted with art.
Vincent Van Gogh
I felt my energy return and that I said to myself, in any event I'll recover from it, I'll pick up my pencil that I put down in my great discouragement and I'll get back to drawing, and from then on, it seems to me, everything has changed for me.
Vincent Van Gogh
Here everything is so wholly what I consider beautiful. In other words, there is peace here.
Vincent Van Gogh
... life is too short to do the whole.
Vincent Van Gogh
Ah! My dear friend painting is to us what the music of Berlioz and Wagner was before us - a consolatory art for sore hearts! And yet there are only a few like you and me who feel it!!!
Vincent Van Gogh
