More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
Rembrandt is so deeply mysterious that he says things for which there are no words in any language.
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
You can't be at the pole and the equator at the same time. You must choose your own line, as I hope to do, and it will probably be color.
Vincent Van Gogh
My aim in life is to make pictures and drawings, as many and as well as I can then, at the end of my life... looking back with love and tender regret, and thinking, 'Oh, the pictures I might have made!'
Vincent Van Gogh
Do not think too deeply about these things - gradually they will become clearer to you
Vincent Van Gogh
I want to touch people with my art. I want them to say he feels deeply, he feels tenderly.
Vincent Van Gogh
What color is in a picture, enthusiasm is in life.
Vincent Van Gogh
If you work diligently... without saying to yourself beforehand, 'I want to make this or that,' if you work as though you were making a pair of shoes, without artistic preoccupation, you will not always find you do well. But the days you least expect it, you will find a subject which holds its own with the work of those who have gone before.
Vincent Van Gogh
I've just kept on ceaselessly painting in order to learn painting.
Vincent Van Gogh
A weaver who has to direct and to interweave a great many little threads has no time to philosophize about it, but rather he is so absorbed in his work that he doesn't think but acts, and he feels how things must go more than he can explain it.
Vincent Van Gogh
I do not know myself how I paint it. I sit down with a white board before the spot that strikes me. I look at what is before my eyes, and say to myself, that white board must become something.
Vincent Van Gogh
But for one's health as you say, it is very necessary to work in the garden and see the flowers growing.
Vincent Van Gogh
I know for sure that I have an instinct for color, and that it will come to me more and more, that painting is in the very marrow of my bones.
Vincent Van Gogh
To suffer without complaint is the only lesson we have to learn in this life
Vincent Van Gogh
I am still far from being what I want to be, but with God's help I shall succeed.
Vincent Van Gogh
You know, what makes the prison disappear is every deep, serious attachment. To be friends, to be brothers, to love that opens the prison through sovereign power, through a most powerful spell. But he who doesn't have that remains in death. But where sympathy springs up again, life springs up again.
Vincent Van Gogh
What has changed is that my life then was less difficult and my future seemingly less gloomy, but as far as my inner self, my way of looking at things and of thinking is concerned, that has not changed. But if there has indeed been a change, then it is that I think, believe and love more seriously now what I thought, believed and loved even then.
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
It is no more easy to make a good picture than it is to find a diamond or a pearl. It means trouble and you risk your life for it.
Vincent Van Gogh
An artist needn't be a clergyman or a churchwarden, but he certainly must have a warm heart for his fellow men.
Vincent Van Gogh
