More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
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
In trees, I see expression and soul
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
I take great care of myself by carefully shutting myself away.
Vincent Van Gogh
I sometimes think there is nothing so delightful as drawing.
Vincent Van Gogh
If one were to say but few words, though ones with meaning, one would do better than to say many that were only empty sounds, and just as easy to utter as they were of little use.
Vincent Van Gogh
I am no friend of present-day Christianity, though its Founder was sublime.
Vincent Van Gogh
And painted portraits have a life of their own that comes from deep in the soul of the painter and where the machine can't go.
Vincent Van Gogh
It was Richepin who said somewhere, 'The love of art means loss of real love'... True, but on the other hand, real love makes you disgusted with art.
Vincent Van Gogh
There is no such thing as an ugly woman.
Vincent Van Gogh
To try to understand the real significance of what the great artists, the serious masters, tell us in their masterpieces, that leads to God one man wrote or told it in a book another, in a picture.
Vincent Van Gogh
Sometimes art seems to be something very sublime, and, as you say, something sacred.
Vincent Van Gogh
The heart of man is very much like the sea, it has its storms, it has its tides and in its depths it has its pearls too
Vincent Van Gogh
To know life, one must love many things.
Vincent Van Gogh
The sight of stars always sets me dreaming just as naively as those black dots on a map set me dreaming of towns and villages. Why should these points of light in the firmament, I wonder, be less accessible than the dark ones on the map of France? We take a train to go to Torascon or Roven and we take death to a star.
Vincent Van Gogh
We spent our whole lives in unconsous excercise of the art of expressing our thoughts with the help of words
Vincent Van Gogh
What lives in art and is eternally living, is first of all the painter and then the painting.
Vincent Van Gogh
I have played hell somewhat with the truthfulness of the colours.
Vincent Van Gogh
Here everything is so wholly what I consider beautiful. In other words, there is peace here.
Vincent Van Gogh
I want to get to the point where people say of my work, that man feels deeply.
Vincent Van Gogh
