More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
If you work with love and intelligence, you develop a kind of armour against people's opinions, just because of the sincerity of your love for nature and art. Nature is also severe and, to put it that way, hard, but never deceives and always helps you to move forward.
Vincent Van Gogh
The painter of the future will be a colorist unlike anything yet.
Vincent Van Gogh
Here everything is so wholly what I consider beautiful. In other words, there is peace here.
Vincent Van Gogh
One must never let the fire go out in one's soul, but keep it burning.
Vincent Van Gogh
It is better to be high-spirited even though one makes more mistakes, than to be narrow-minded and all too prudent.
Vincent Van Gogh
As practice makes perfect, I cannot but make progress each drawing one makes, each study one paints, is a step forward.
Vincent Van Gogh
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
Don't lose heart if it's very difficult at times, everything will come out all right and nobody can in the beginning do as he wishes.
Vincent Van Gogh
There is something intimate about painting I cannot explain to you ? but it is so delightful just for expressing one's feelings.
Vincent Van Gogh
To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one's fling from time to time, smoke one's pipe, and drink one's coffee in peace
Vincent Van Gogh
I know for sure that I have an instinct for color, and that it will come to me more and more, that painting is in the very marrow of my bones.
Vincent Van Gogh
Man is not on the earth solely for his own happiness. He is there to realize great things for humanity.
Vincent Van Gogh
Do you know that drawing with words is also an art... ?
Vincent Van Gogh
The world concerns me only in so far as I have a certain debt and duty to it, because I have lived in it for thirty years and owe to it to leave behind some souvenir in the shape of drawings and paintings – not done to please any particular movement, but within which a genuine human sentiment is expressed.
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
Let us keep courage and try to be patient and gentle. And let us not mind being eccentric, and make distinction between good and evil.
Vincent Van Gogh
... life is too short to do the whole.
Vincent Van Gogh
We must not judge God from this world. It's just a study that didn't come off. It's only a master who could make such a blunder.
Vincent Van Gogh
It isn't an easy job to paint oneself - at any rate if it is to be different from a photograph. And you see - this, in my opinion, is the advantage that impressionism possesses over all the other things it is not banal, and one seeks after a deeper resemblance than the photograph.
Vincent Van Gogh
I take great care of myself by carefully shutting myself away.
Vincent Van Gogh
