More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
If one wants to be active, one must not be afraid of going wrong, one must not be afraid of making mistakes now and then. Many people think that they will become good just by doing no harm -- but that's a lie.... That way lies stagnation, mediocrity.
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
I want to paint men and women with that something of the external which the halo used to symbolize, and which we now seek to give by the actual radiance and vibrancy of our colorings.
Vincent Van Gogh
It is a pity that, as one gradually gains experience, one loses one's youth.
Vincent Van Gogh
Whatever plan one makes, there is a hidden difficulty somewhere.
Vincent Van Gogh
Surely the true path is to dive deep into nature.
Vincent Van Gogh
I want to get to the point where people say of my work, that man feels deeply.
Vincent Van Gogh
Don't lose heart if it's very difficult at times, everything will come out all right and nobody can in the beginning do as he wishes.
Vincent Van Gogh

Vincent Van Gogh
In spite of everything, I shall rise again
Vincent Van Gogh
Art is but imitation of nature.
Vincent Van Gogh
I sometimes think there is nothing so delightful as drawing.
Vincent Van Gogh
My brushwork is quite unsystematic. I slam the paint on in all sorts of ways and leave each result to take care of itself.
Vincent Van Gogh
I've just kept on ceaselessly painting in order to learn painting.
Vincent Van Gogh
My sketchbook is a witness of what I am experiencing, scribbling things whenever they happen.
Vincent Van Gogh
I am seeking, I am striving, I am in it with all my heart.
Vincent Van Gogh
That this awareness of my own fallibility will prevent me from making many mistakes doesn't alter the fact that I'm bound to make a great many mistakes anyway. But if we fall, we get up again!
Vincent Van Gogh
In order to work and to become an artist one needs love. At least, one who wants sentiment in his work must in the first place feel it himself, and live with his heart
Vincent Van Gogh
Seek only light and freedom and do not immerse yourself too deeply in the worldly mire.
Vincent Van Gogh
I cannot help thinking that the best way of knowing God is to love many things. Love this friend, this person, this thing, whatever you like, and you will be on the right road to understanding Him better.
Vincent Van Gogh
