I am seeking, I am striving, I am in it with all my heart.
Vincent Van Gogh
The wheat field has ...poetry it is like a memory of something one has once seen. We can only make our pictures speak.
Vincent Van Gogh
But by fighting the difficulties in which one finds oneself, an inner strength develops from within our heart, which improves in life's fight.
Vincent Van Gogh
Success is sometimes the outcome of a whole string of failures.
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 express a marriage of two complementary colors, their mingling and their opposition, the mysterious vibrations of kindred tones.
Vincent Van Gogh
I want to paint what I feel, and feel what I paint.
Vincent Van Gogh
Though I am often in the depths of misery, there is still calmness, pure harmony and music inside me.
Vincent Van Gogh
I am astonished at the high prices paid for works by painters who are dead, prices none of them could expect when they were alive. It is a kind of tulip trade, in which living painters suffer but do not profit.
Vincent Van Gogh
If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is a grass in the beginning.
Vincent Van Gogh
I am no friend of present-day Christianity, though its Founder was sublime.
Vincent Van Gogh
If I did not succeed I still thought that what I had worked on would be continued. Not immediately. But there are others who believe in things that are true.
Vincent Van Gogh
As you can see, I am immersing myself in color-I've held back from that until now and I don't regret it.
Vincent Van Gogh
Painting it was hard graft. There are one and a half large tubes of white in the ground - yet that ground is very dark.
Vincent Van Gogh
It is looking at things for a long time that ripens you and gives you a deeper meaning.
Vincent Van Gogh
What is drawing? How does one get there? It's working one's way through an invisible iron wall that seems to stand between what one feels and what one can do. How can one get through that wall? - since hammering on it doesn't help at all. In my view, one must undermine the wall and grind through it slowly and patiently.
Vincent Van Gogh
If I were to think of and dwell on disastrous possibilities, I could do nothing. I throw myself headlong into my work, and come up again with my studies.
Vincent Van Gogh
It is good to love many things
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
What is drawing? It is working oneself through an invisible iron wall that seems to stand between what one feels and what one can do.
