Quote

Painting it was hard graft... in addition red, yellow, brown ochre, black, terra sienna, bistre, and the result is a red-brown that varies from bistre to deep wine-red and to pale, blond reddish.

Image
What am I in most people's eyes? A nonentity or an eccentric and disagreeable man... I should want my work to show what is in the heart of such an eccentric, of such a nobody.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I believe that one thinks much more soundly if the thoughts arise from direct contact with things, than if one looks at things with the aim of finding this or that in them.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Love a friend, love a wife, something, whatever you like, but one must love with a lofty and serious intimate sympathy, with strength, with intelligence, and one must always try to know deeper, better, and more.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Everywhere we look, complex magic of nature blazes before our eyes.
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
Image
Keep your love of nature, for that is the true way to understand art more and more.

I am painting with the same enthusiasm as a Marseillaise eats bouillabaisse ... I am painting big sunflowers.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
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
Image
Occasionally, in times of worry, I've longed to be stylish, but on second thought I say no-just let me be myself-and express rough, yet true things with rough workmanship.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Modern reality has got such a hold on us that... when we attempt to reconstruct the ancient days in our thoughts...the minor events of our lives tear us away from our meditations, and... thrust us back into our personal [problems]
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
In trees, I see expression and soul
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
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.

Image
Bookstores always remind me that there are good things in this world.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
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
Image
When I have a terrible need of - shall I say the word - religion. Then I go out and paint the stars.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I assure you that there's a lot involved in compositions with figures. ... It's like weaving... you must control and keep an eye on several things at once.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I feel the need of relations and friendship, of affection, of friendly intercourse.... I cannot miss these things without feeling, as does any other intelligent man, a void and a deep need.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Love always causes trouble, that's true, but in its favour, it energizes.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I must continue to follow the path I take now. If I do nothing, if I study nothing, if I cease searching, then, woe is me, I am lost. That is how I look at it - keep going, keep going come what may.
