When we are working at a difficult task and strive after a good thing, we are fighting a righteous battle, the direct reward of which is that we are kept from much evil.

More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
To know life, one must love many things.
Vincent Van Gogh
There is a sun, a light that for want of another word I can only call yellow, pale sulphur yellow, pale golden citron. How lovely yellow is!
Vincent Van Gogh
Conscience is a man's compass.
Vincent Van Gogh
Admire as much as you can. Most people do not admire enough.
Vincent Van Gogh
If one feels the need of something grand, something infinite, something that makes one feel aware of God, one need not go far to find it.
Vincent Van Gogh
It interests me tremendously to make copies... I started it by chance and I find it teaches me things.
Vincent Van Gogh
Study, analyse the social structure - that's always far more effective than moralising.
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
What is true is that I have at times earned my own crust of bread, and at other times a friend has given it to me out of the goodness of his heart. I have lived whatever way I could, for better or for worse, taking things just as they came.
Vincent Van Gogh
Do you know what makes the prison disappear? Every deep, genuine affection. Being friends, being brothers, loving, that is what opens the prison, with supreme power, by some magic force. Without these one stays dead. But whenever affection is revived, there life revives.
Vincent Van Gogh
When using colors to recreate a general harmony of tones in nature, one loses it by painfully exact imitation. One keeps it by recreating in an equivalent color range, and that may not be exactly, or far from exactly, like the model.
Vincent Van Gogh
One begins by plaguing oneself to no purpose in order to be true to nature, and one concludes by working quietly from one's own palette alone, and then nature is the result.
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
We feel lonely now and then and long for friends and think we should be quite different and happier if we found a friend of whom we might say: “He is the one.” But you, too, will begin to learn that there is much self-deception behind this longing if we yielded too much to it, it would lead us from the road.
Vincent Van Gogh
The sunflower is mine, in a way.
Vincent Van Gogh
The only time I feel alive is when I'm painting.
Vincent Van Gogh
My opinion is that the best thing would be to work on till art lovers feel drawn toward it of their own accord, instead of having to praise or to explain it.
Vincent Van Gogh
I can't work without a model. I won't say I turn my back on nature ruthlessly in order to turn a study into a picture, arranging the colors, enlarging and simplifying but in the matter of form I am too afraid of departing from the possible and the true.
Vincent Van Gogh
Normality is a paved road: It’s comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it.
Vincent Van Gogh
a likeness different from the products of the God-fearing photographer.
