More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
...and then, I have nature and art and poetry, and if that is not enough, what is enough?
Vincent Van Gogh
Let’s not forget that the little emotions are the great captains of our lives and we obey them without realizing it.
Vincent Van Gogh
To express the love of two lovers by a marriage of two complementary colors, their mingling and their opposition, the mysterious vibrations of Kindred tones. To express the thought of a brow by the radiance of light tone against a somber background to express hope by some star, the eagerness of a soul by a sunset radiance.
Vincent Van Gogh
I want to do drawings which touch some people... In either figure or landscape I wish to express, not sentimental melancholy, but serious sorrow.
Vincent Van Gogh
In an artist's life, death is perhaps not the most difficult thing.
Vincent Van Gogh
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
To believe in God for me is to feel that there is a God, not a dead one, or a stuffed one, who with irresistible force urges us towards more loving.
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
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
As practice makes perfect, I cannot but make progress each drawing one makes, each study one paints, is a step forward.
Vincent Van Gogh
Since visiting the abatoirs of S. France I have stopped eating meat.
Vincent Van Gogh
Painting demands an intelligent model.
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
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
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
Ah! Portraiture, portraiture with the thought, the soul of the model in it, that is what I think must come.
Vincent Van Gogh
I dream of painting and then I paint my dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
But I always think that the best way to know God is to love many things.
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
I can't change the fact that my paintings don't sell. But the time will come when people will recognize that they are worth more than the value of the paints used in the picture.
Vincent Van Gogh
