In spite of everything, I shall rise again
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
For the great doesn't happen through impulse alone, and is a succession of little things that are brought together.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Life is not long for anybody, and the problem is only to make something of it.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
But what's your ultimate goal, you'll say. That goal will become clearer, will take shape slowly and surely, as the croquis becomes a sketch and the sketch a painting, as one works more seriously, as one digs deeper into the originally vague idea, the first fugitive, passing thought, unless it becomes firm.

Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Life itself, too, is forever turning an infinitely vacant, dispiriting blank side towards man on which nothing appears, any more than it does on a blank canvas. But no matter how vacant and vain, how dead life may appear to be, the man of faith, of energy, of warmth, who knows something, will not be put off so easily.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I began to paint again, even though I could barely hold the brush, but knowing exactly what I wanted to paint, I began three more large canvases... of large wheat fields under cloudy skies, and it did not take a great deal to express sadness and loneliness... I believe these paintings say what words cannot.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
One can speak poetry just by arranging colors well, just as one can say comforting things in music.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Painting is a faith, and it imposes the duty to disregard public opinion.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
We have very beautiful bad weather here at present - rain, wind, thunder - but with splendid effects that's why I like it.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Man is not on the earth solely for his own happiness. He is there to realize great things for humanity.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
My great longing is to make those very incorrectnesses, those deviations, remodellings, changes in reality, so that they may become, yes, lies if you like - but truer than the literal truth.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I see drawings and pictures in the poorest huts, in the dirtiest corner. And my mind is drawn toward these things by an irresistible force.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Painting is a faith and that it brings with it the duty to pay no heed to public opinion - and that in it one conquers by perseverance and not by giving in.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I often think of you all, one cannot do what one wants in life. The more you feel attached to a spot, the more ruthlessly you are compelled to leave it, but the memories remain, and one remembers - as in a looking glass, darkly - one's absent friends.
