More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
Find things beautiful as much as you can, most people find too little beautiful.
Vincent Van Gogh

Vincent Van Gogh
If one is master of one thing and understands one thing well, one has at the same time, insight into and understanding of many things.
Vincent Van Gogh
Still, there is a calm, pure harmony, and music inside of me.
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
So often, a visit to a bookshop has cheered me, and reminded me that there are good things in the world.
Vincent Van Gogh
No, no thought to the winnings. One loves because one loves.
Vincent Van Gogh
Whatever plan one makes, there is a hidden difficulty somewhere.
Vincent Van Gogh

Vincent Van Gogh
But after all I find in my work an echo of what struck me. I see that nature has told me something, has spoken to me, and that I have put it down in shorthand. In my shorthand there may be words that cannot be deciphered. There may be mistakes or gap
Vincent Van Gogh
An artist needn't be a clergyman or a churchwarden, but he certainly must have a warm heart for his fellow men.
Vincent Van Gogh
In spite of everything I shall rise again: I will take up my pencil, which I have forsaken in my great discouragement, and I will go on with my drawing.
Vincent Van Gogh
Purity of soul and impurity of body can go together.
Vincent Van Gogh
As you can see, I am immersing myself in color-I've held back from that until now and I don't regret it.
Vincent Van Gogh
There is something intimate about painting I cannot explain to you ? but it is so delightful just for expressing one's feelings.
Vincent Van Gogh
It is better to be high-spirited even though one makes more mistakes, than to be narrow-minded and all too prudent.
Vincent Van Gogh
I want to touch people with my art. I want them to say he feels deeply, he feels tenderly.
Vincent Van Gogh
My aim in life is to make pictures and drawings, as many and as well as I can then, at the end of my life... looking back with love and tender regret, and thinking, 'Oh, the pictures I might have made!'
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
What is true is that I have at times earned my own crust of bread, and at other times a friend has given it to me out of the goodness of his heart. I have lived whatever way I could, for better or for worse, taking things just as they came.
Vincent Van Gogh
