Life is not long for anybody, and the problem is only to make something of it.
Vincent Van Gogh
It seems to me it's a painter's duty to try to put an idea into his work.
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
I believe I do much better for the time being by first copying some good things than by working without that foundation
Vincent Van Gogh
The sight of stars always sets me dreaming just as naively as those black dots on a map set me dreaming of towns and villages. Why should these points of light in the firmament, I wonder, be less accessible than the dark ones on the map of France? We take a train to go to Torascon or Roven and we take death to a star.
Vincent Van Gogh
I want to touch people with my art. I want them to say he feels deeply, he feels tenderly.
Vincent Van Gogh
Painting demands an intelligent model.
Vincent Van Gogh
I am risking my life for my work, and half my reason has gone.
Vincent Van Gogh
... life is too short to do the whole.
Vincent Van Gogh
As we advance in life it becomes more and more difficult, but in fighting the difficulties the inmost strength of the heart is developed.
Vincent Van Gogh
If one wants to be active, one must not be afraid of going wrong, one must not be afraid of making mistakes now and then. Many people think that they will become good just by doing no harm -- but that's a lie.... That way lies stagnation, mediocrity.
Vincent Van Gogh
Yellow is capable of charming God.
Vincent Van Gogh
But by fighting the difficulties in which one finds oneself, an inner strength develops from within our heart, which improves in life's fight.
Vincent Van Gogh
How right it is to love flowers and the greenery of pines and ivy and hawthorn hedges they have been with us from the very beginning.
Vincent Van Gogh
You will say that everyone has seen landscapes and figures from childhood on. The question is: Has everybody also been reflexive as a child? Has everybody who has seen them also loved heath, fields, meadows, woods, and the snow and the rain and the s.
Vincent Van Gogh
One of the hardest things to do is to paint darkness which nonetheless has light in it.
Vincent Van Gogh
One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul and yet no one ever came to sit by it. Passers-by see only a wisp of smoke from the chimney and continue on their way.
Vincent Van Gogh
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
The more I think about it, the more I realize there is nothing more artistic than to love others.
Vincent Van Gogh
The only time I feel alive is when I'm painting.
Vincent Van Gogh
