More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
Color in a picture is like enthusiasm in life.
Vincent Van Gogh
Do not think too deeply about these things - gradually they will become clearer to you
Vincent Van Gogh
If the storm within gets too loud, I take a glass too much to stun myself.
Vincent Van Gogh
Everyone who works with love and with intelligence finds in the very sincerity of his love for nature and art a kind of armor against the opinions of other people.
Vincent Van Gogh
We must not judge God from this world. It's just a study that didn't come off. It's only a master who could make such a blunder.
Vincent Van Gogh
If one is master of one thing and understands one thing well, one has at the same time, insight into and understanding of many things.
Vincent Van Gogh
Sometimes art seems to be something very sublime, and, as you say, something sacred.
Vincent Van Gogh
The uglier, older, meaner, iller, poorer I get, the more I wish to take my revenge by doing brilliant color, well arranged, resplendent.
Vincent Van Gogh
When we are working at a difficult task and strive after a good thing, we are fighting a righteous battle, the direct reward of which is that we are kept from much evil. As we advance in life it becomes more and more difficult, but in fighting the difficulties the inmost strength of the heart is developed.
Vincent Van Gogh
I can't change the fact that my paintings don't sell. But the time will come when people will recognize that they are worth more than the value of the paints used in the picture.
Vincent Van Gogh
How rich art is, if one can only remember what one has seen, one is never empty of thoughts or truly lonely, never alone.
Vincent Van Gogh
But after all I find in my work an echo of what struck me. I see that nature has told me something, has spoken to me, and that I have put it down in shorthand. In my shorthand there may be words that cannot be deciphered. There may be mistakes or gap
Vincent Van Gogh
For great things do not done just happen by impulse but are a succession of small things linked together.
Vincent Van Gogh
For myself, I declare I don't know anything about it. But the sight of the stars always makes me dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
But you must love with a sublime , genuine , profound sympathy , with devotion, with intelligence , and you must try all the time to understand Him more, better and yet more. That will lead to God , that will lead to an unshakeable faith .
Vincent Van Gogh
What is done in love is done well.
Vincent Van Gogh
I am a fanatic! I feel a power within me...a fire that I may not quench, but must keep ablaze.
Vincent Van Gogh
I do not intend to spare myself, not to avoid emotions or difficulties. I don't care much whether I live a longer or shorter time... the world concerns me only in so far as I feel a certain debt toward it, because I have walked on this earth for thirty years, and out of gratitude I want to leave some souvenir.
Vincent Van Gogh
Seek only light and freedom and do not immerse yourself too deeply in the worldly mire.
Vincent Van Gogh
Painting is like having a bad mistress who spends and spends and it's never enough ... I tell myself that even if a tolerable study comes out of it from time to time, it would have been cheaper to buy it from somebody else.
Vincent Van Gogh
