I see drawings and pictures in the poorest huts, in the dirtiest corner. And my mind is drawn toward these things by an irresistible force.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
For great things do not done just happen by impulse but are a succession of small things linked together.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Surely the true path is to dive deep into nature.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I try more and more to be myself, caring relatively little whether people approve or disapprove.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
The great isn't something accidental it must be willed.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
One must spoil as many canvases as one succeeds with.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
The emotions are sometimes so strong that I work without knowing it. The strokes come like speech.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
There is nothing more beautiful than nature early in the morning.
