More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
I devour nature ceaselessly. I exaggerate, sometimes I make changes in the subject but still I don't invent the whole picture. On the contrary, I find it already there. It's a question of picking out what one wants from nature.
Vincent Van Gogh
Those Dutchmen had hardly any imagination or fantasy, but their good taste and their scientific knowledge of composition were enormous.
Vincent Van Gogh

Vincent Van Gogh
I am seeking, I am striving, I am in it with all my heart.
Vincent Van Gogh

Vincent Van Gogh
I consciously choose the dog's path through life. I shall be poor I shall be a painter.
Vincent Van Gogh

Vincent Van Gogh
There is no blue without yellow and without orange.
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
How lovely yellow is! It stands for the sun.
Vincent Van Gogh
One can speak poetry just by arranging colors well, just as one can say comforting things in music.
Vincent Van Gogh
But you people do not understand me, and I am afraid you never will.
Vincent Van Gogh
I shouldn't precisely have chosen madness if there had been any choice, but once such a thing has taken hold of you, you can't very well get out of it.
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
