More quotes by 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
The more you love, the more you suffer.
Vincent Van Gogh
Art is but imitation of nature.
Vincent Van Gogh
Painting is a faith, and it imposes the duty to disregard public opinion.
Vincent Van Gogh
For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
Both she and I have grief enough and trouble enough, but as for regrets – neither of us have any.
Vincent Van Gogh
I want to paint men and women with that something of the external which the halo used to symbolize, and which we now seek to give by the actual radiance and vibrancy of our colorings.
Vincent Van Gogh
Painters understand nature and love it, and teach us to see.
Vincent Van Gogh
Color in a picture is like enthusiasm in life.
Vincent Van Gogh
We take death to reach a star
Vincent Van Gogh
The sight of stars makes me dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
An artist need not be a minister or a collector in church, but he must have a warm heart for people, and I find it a noble thing that, for example, no winter passed without The Graphic doing something to keep alive sympathy for the poor.
Vincent Van Gogh
Even this artistic life, which we know is not real life, appears to me to be so alive and so vital that it would be a form ingratitude not to be content with 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 get to the point where people say of my work, that man feels deeply.
Vincent Van Gogh
It is with the reading of books the same as with looking at pictures one must, without doubt, without hesitations, with assurance, admire what is beautiful.
Vincent Van Gogh
When I have a terrible need of - shall I say the word - religion. Then I go out and paint the stars.
Vincent Van Gogh
In general, and most especially with artists, I pay as much attention to the man who does the work, as to the work itself.
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
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
