More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
Still, there is a calm, pure harmony, and music inside of me.
Vincent Van Gogh
One must learn to read, just as one must learn to see and learn to live.
Vincent Van Gogh
Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and death be like autumn leaves. Rabindranath Tagore What a simple thing death is, just as simple as the falling of an autumn leaf.
Vincent Van Gogh
Keep your love of nature, for that is the true way to understand art more and more.
Vincent Van Gogh
My brushwork is quite unsystematic. I slam the paint on in all sorts of ways and leave each result to take care of itself.
Vincent Van Gogh
It seems to me it's a painter's duty to try to put an idea into his work.
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
I want to do drawings which touch some people... In either figure or landscape I wish to express, not sentimental melancholy, but serious sorrow.
Vincent Van Gogh
What color is in a picture, enthusiasm is in life.
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
It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to, the feeling for the things themselves, for reality is more important than the feeling for pictures.
Vincent Van Gogh
What a splendid thing watercolour is to express atmosphere and distance, so that the figure is surrounded by air and can breathe in it.
Vincent Van Gogh
Only when I fall do I get up again.
Vincent Van Gogh
But on the road that I'm on I must continue if I do nothing, if I don't study, if I don't keep on trying, then I'm lost, then woe betide me. That's how I see this, to keep on, keep on, that's what's needed.
Vincent Van Gogh
Whoever lives sincerely and encounters much trouble and disappointment without being bowed down is worth more than one who has always sailed before the wind and has only known prosperity.
Vincent Van Gogh
The best pictures are always those one dreams of when one is smoking a pipe in bed, but which never get done. But still one ought to try, however incompetent one may feel before the unspeakable perfection and radiant splendour of nature.
Vincent Van Gogh
To paint nature you must be in it a long time.
Vincent Van Gogh
I cannot help thinking that the best way of knowing God is to love many things. Love this friend, this person, this thing, whatever you like, and you will be on the right road to understanding Him better.
Vincent Van Gogh
Life is not long for anybody, and the problem is only to make something of it.
Vincent Van Gogh
