More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
One must work and dare if one really wants to live.
Vincent Van Gogh
The world concerns me only in so far as I have a certain debt and duty to it, because I have lived in it for thirty years and owe to it to leave behind some souvenir in the shape of drawings and paintings – not done to please any particular movement, but within which a genuine human sentiment is expressed.
Vincent Van Gogh
I confess I do not know why, but looking at the stars always makes me dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
I want to paint what I feel, and feel what I paint.
Vincent Van Gogh
It is difficult to know oneself, but it isn't easy to paint oneself either.
Vincent Van Gogh
I take great care of myself by carefully shutting myself away.
Vincent Van Gogh
I hope I shall be able to make some drawings in which there is something human.
Vincent Van Gogh
One must learn to read, just as one must learn to see and learn to live.
Vincent Van Gogh
If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is a grass in the beginning.
Vincent Van Gogh
I have a firm faith in art, a firm confidence in its being a powerful stream which carries a man to a harbor, though he himself must do his bit too.
Vincent Van Gogh
I use color in a completely arbitrary way in order to express myself powerfully.
Vincent Van Gogh
Let me stop there, but my God, how beautiful Shakespeare is, who else is as mysterious as he is his language and method are like a brush trembling with excitement and ecstasy. But one must learn to read, just as one must learn to see and learn to live.
Vincent Van Gogh
There is peace even in the storm
Vincent Van Gogh
Life itself, too, is forever turning an infinitely vacant, dispiriting blank side towards man on which nothing appears, any more than it does on a blank canvas. But no matter how vacant and vain, how dead life may appear to be, the man of faith, of energy, of warmth, who knows something, will not be put off so easily.
Vincent Van Gogh
When we are working at a difficult task and strive after a good thing, we are fighting a righteous battle, the direct reward of which is that we are kept from much evil.
Vincent Van Gogh
Study, analyse the social structure - that's always far more effective than moralising.
Vincent Van Gogh
To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one's fling from time to time, smoke one's pipe, and drink one's coffee in peace
Vincent Van Gogh
a likeness different from the products of the God-fearing photographer.
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
Painters understand nature and love it, and teach us to see.
Vincent Van Gogh
