Quote

If one keeps loving faithfully what is really worth loving, and does not waste one's love on insignificant and unworthy and meaningless things, one will get more light by and by and grow stronger.

Love a friend, love a wife, something, whatever you like, but one must love with a lofty and serious intimate sympathy, with strength, with intelligence, and one must always try to know deeper, better, and more.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Art, although produced by man's hands, is something not created by hands alone, but something which wells up from a deeper source out of our soul.....My sympathies in the literary as well as in the artistic field are drawn most strongly to those artists in whom I see most the working of the soul.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
The worse I get along with people the more I learn to have faith in Nature and concentrate on her.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
It interests me tremendously to make copies... I started it by chance and I find it teaches me things.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
If you end up falling in love with someone, it's because of them. If you end up hating someone, it's because of you.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
The victory one would gain after a whole life of work and effort is better than one that is gained sooner.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
The diseases that we civilized people labor under most are melancholy and pessimism.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
You can't be at the pole and the equator at the same time. You must choose your own line, as I hope to do, and it will probably be color.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
What preys on my mind is simply this one question: what am I good for, could I not be of service or use in some way?
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I am working with the enthusiasm of a man from Marseilles eating bouillabaisse, which shouldn't come as a surprise to you because I am busy painting huge sunflowers.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
There is no blue without yellow and without orange, and if you put in blue, then you must put in yellow, and orange too, mustn't you? Oh well, you will tell me that what I write to you are only banalities.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I don't know anything with certainty, but seeing the stars makes me dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Whatever plan one makes, there is a hidden difficulty somewhere.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Cobalt is a divine color and there is nothing as fine for putting an atmosphere round things. Carmine is the red of wine and is warm and lively like wine. The same goes for emerald green too. It's false economy to dispense with them, with those colors. Cadmium as well.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
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
Image
One can never study nature too much and too hard
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
In the fullness of artistic life there is, and remains, and will always come back at times, that homesick longing for the truly ideal life that can never come true.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Study, analyse the social structure - that's always far more effective than moralising.
Vincent Van Gogh

Yellow is capable of charming God.
