More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
If I did not succeed I still thought that what I had worked on would be continued. Not immediately. But there are others who believe in things that are true.
Vincent Van Gogh
Often whole days pass without my speaking to anyone.
Vincent Van Gogh
Just slap something on it when you see a blank canvas staring at you with a sort of imbecility.
Vincent Van Gogh
One must work and dare if one really wants to live.
Vincent Van Gogh
What lives in art and is eternally living, is first of all the painter and then the painting.
Vincent Van Gogh
a likeness different from the products of the God-fearing photographer.
Vincent Van Gogh
I felt my energy return and that I said to myself, in any event I'll recover from it, I'll pick up my pencil that I put down in my great discouragement and I'll get back to drawing, and from then on, it seems to me, everything has changed for me.
Vincent Van Gogh
Do not quench your inspiration and your imagination do not become the slave of your model.
Vincent Van Gogh
The sight of stars makes me dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
In a sense I'm glad that I've never learned how to paint.
Vincent Van Gogh
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
l can do very well without God both in my life and in my painting, but l cannot, ill as I am, do without something which is greater than l, which is my life — the power to create.
Vincent Van Gogh
Nature always begins by resisting the artist, but he who really takes it seriously does not allow that resistance to put him off his stride on the contrary, it is that much more of a stimulus to fight for victory.
Vincent Van Gogh
But on the road that I'm on I must continue if I do nothing, if I don't study, if I don't keep on trying, then I'm lost, then woe betide me. That's how I see this, to keep on, keep on, that's what's needed.
Vincent Van Gogh
It is the painting that makes me so happy these days.
Vincent Van Gogh
If one feels the need of something grand, something infinite, something that makes one feel aware of God, one need not go far to find it.
Vincent Van Gogh
One should arrive at leading one's conscience to a state of development so that it becomes the voice of a better and higher self, of which the ordinary self is a servant.
Vincent Van Gogh
One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul, and yet no one ever comes to sit by it.
Vincent Van Gogh
Accurate drawing, accurate colour, is perhaps not the essential thing to aim at, because the reflection of reality in a mirror, if it could be caught, colour and all, would not be a picture at all, no more than a photograph.
Vincent Van Gogh
One can speak poetry just by arranging colors well, just as one can say comforting things in music.
Vincent Van Gogh
