Vincent Van Gogh
Image
How can I be useful, of what service can I be? There is something inside me, what can it be?
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I am unable to describe exactly what is the matter with me now and then there are horrible fits of anxiety, apparently without cause, or otherwise a feeling of emptiness and fatigue in the head.
Vincent Van Gogh

Still, there is a calm, pure harmony, and music inside of me.

Vincent Van Gogh
Image
It astonishes me already when I compare my condition today with what it was a month ago. Before that I knew well enough one could fracture one's legs and arms and recover afterward, but I did not know that you could fracture the brain in your head and recover from that too.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
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
Image
I myself believe that there is in every painter's life a period of making absurdities. In my case I think that period is already long past.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
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
Image
God sends us pieces of art so that we may see ourselves in them
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I want to get to the point where people say of my work, that man feels deeply.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Ah, Manet has come very, very close to it and Courbet - the marrying of form and colour.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Here everything is so wholly what I consider beautiful. In other words, there is peace here.

Life is not long for anybody, and the problem is only to make something of it.
