I want to do drawings which touch some people... In either figure or landscape I wish to express, not sentimental melancholy, but serious sorrow.

More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
There are so many people, especially among our comrades, who imagine that words are nothing - on the contrary, isn't it true that saying a thing well is as interesting and as difficult as painting it?
Vincent Van Gogh
Rembrandt is so deeply mysterious that he says things for which there are no words in any language.
Vincent Van Gogh
We feel lonely now and then and long for friends and think we should be quite different and happier if we found a friend of whom we might say: βHe is the one.β But you, too, will begin to learn that there is much self-deception behind this longing if we yielded too much to it, it would lead us from the road.
Vincent Van Gogh
Perhaps someday everyone will have neurosis.
Vincent Van Gogh
The beginning is perhaps more difficult than anything else, but keep heart, it will turn out all right.
Vincent Van Gogh
If your inner voice is telling you that you can't paint, by all means, hurry up and paint and silence the voice.
Vincent Van Gogh
If one keeps loving faithfully what is really worth loving, and does not waste one's love on insignificant and unworthy and meaningless things, one will get more light by and by and grow stronger.
Vincent Van Gogh
It is the painting that makes me so happy these days.
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
Van Gogh was so under appreciated in his time, he sold only one of his 900 paintings while alive. Posthumously, he became one of the most famous artists of all time and his work is now considered priceless. Oh the irony.
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
It is the language of nature to which one has to listen.
Vincent Van Gogh
The cypresses are always occupying my thoughts.
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
There is a sun, a light that for want of another word I can only call yellow, pale sulphur yellow, pale golden citron. How lovely yellow is!
Vincent Van Gogh
It is only too true that a lot of artists are mentally ill - it's a life which, to put it mildly, makes one an outsider. I'm all right when I completely immerse myself in work, but I'll always remain half crazy.
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
You can feel the stars and the infinity of the sky since life, in spite of everything, is like a dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
I myself believe that there is in every painter's life a period of making absurdities. In my case I think that period is already long past.
Vincent Van Gogh
A good painting should be the equivalent of a good deed.
Vincent Van Gogh
