The laws of the colors are unutterably beautiful, just because they are not accidental.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
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
Image
I do not intend to spare myself, not to avoid emotions or difficulties. I don't care much whether I live a longer or shorter time... the world concerns me only in so far as I feel a certain debt toward it, because I have walked on this earth for thirty years, and out of gratitude I want to leave some souvenir.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
But you people do not understand me, and I am afraid you never will.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Study, analyse the social structure - that's always far more effective than moralising.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
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.

Image
Purity of soul and impurity of body can go together.

For myself, I declare I don't know anything about it. But the sight of the stars always makes me dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Art is jealous, and demands our whole strength ... .
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
If you work with love and intelligence, you develop a kind of armour against people's opinions, just because of the sincerity of your love for nature and art. Nature is also severe and, to put it that way, hard, but never deceives and always helps you to move forward.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I am astonished at the high prices paid for works by painters who are dead, prices none of them could expect when they were alive. It is a kind of tulip trade, in which living painters suffer but do not profit.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
What molting time is to birds, so adversity or misfortune is ... for us humans.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
An artist need not be a minister or a collector in church, but he must have a warm heart for people, and I find it a noble thing that, for example, no winter passed without The Graphic doing something to keep alive sympathy for the poor.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Christ is more of an artist than the artists he works in the living spirit and the living flesh, he makes men instead of statues.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
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
Image
I try more and more to be myself, caring relatively little whether people approve or disapprove.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I long so much to make beautiful things. But beautiful things require effort and disappointment and perseverance.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I don't know if I can convey the postman as I feel him... Unfortunately he cannot pose, and a painting demands an intelligent model.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Spring is the fresh green of young corn and the pink blush of blossoms. Autumn contrasts the yellowed foilage with violet hues. Winter is the white of snow against its black forms ... Summer is the contrast of blues and the golden bronze of the corn.

I always dream a painting like that, with a group of lively figures of the pals.
