More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
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
Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.
Vincent Van Gogh
Yellow is capable of charming God.
Vincent Van Gogh
Oh! I must somehow manage to do a figure in a few strokes.
Vincent Van Gogh
To save a life is a real and beautiful thing. To make a home for the homeless, yes, it is a thing that must be good whatever the world may say, it cannot be wrong.
Vincent Van Gogh
When using colors to recreate a general harmony of tones in nature, one loses it by painfully exact imitation. One keeps it by recreating in an equivalent color range, and that may not be exactly, or far from exactly, like the model.
Vincent Van Gogh
I had a new idea in my head... this time it's just simply my bedroom, only here colour is to do everything, and, giving by its simplification a grander style to things, is to be suggestive here of rest or of sleep in general. In a word, to look at the picture ought to rest the brain or rather the imagination.
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
I do not know myself how I paint it. I sit down with a white board before the spot that strikes me. I look at what is before my eyes, and say to myself, that white board must become something.
Vincent Van Gogh
We have very beautiful bad weather here at present - rain, wind, thunder - but with splendid effects that's why I like it.
Vincent Van Gogh
My great longing is to make those very incorrectnesses, those deviations, remodellings, changes in reality, so that they may become, yes, lies if you like - but truer than the literal truth.
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
One must never let the fire go out in one's soul, but keep it burning.
Vincent Van Gogh
Love always brings difficulties, that is true, but the good side of it is that it gives energy.
Vincent Van Gogh
Whatever plan one makes, there is a hidden difficulty somewhere.
Vincent Van Gogh
I experience a period of frightening clarity in those moments when nature is so beautiful. I am no longer sure of myself, and the paintings appear as in a dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and death be like autumn leaves. Rabindranath Tagore What a simple thing death is, just as simple as the falling of an autumn leaf.
Vincent Van Gogh
Art is to console those who are broken by life.
Vincent Van Gogh
I don't know anything with certainty, but seeing the stars makes me dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
Color in a picture is like enthusiasm in life.
Vincent Van Gogh
