More quotes by 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
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
The more I become decomposed, the more sick and fragile I am, the more I become an artist.
Vincent Van Gogh
Well, I am ploughing on my canvases as they do on their fields (the peasants). It goes badly enough in our profession - in fact that has always been so, but at the moment it is very bad.
Vincent Van Gogh
So let us go forward quietly, each on his own path, forever making for the light.
Vincent Van Gogh
Painting it was hard graft. There are one and a half large tubes of white in the ground - yet that ground is very dark.
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
I want to paint men and women with that something of the external which the halo used to symbolize, and which we now seek to give by the actual radiance and vibrancy of our colorings.
Vincent Van Gogh
But by fighting the difficulties in which one finds oneself, an inner strength develops from within our heart, which improves in life's fight.
Vincent Van Gogh
I don't know anything with certainty, but seeing the stars makes me dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
As we advance in life it becomes more and more difficult, but in fighting the difficulties the inmost strength of the heart is developed.
Vincent Van Gogh
The more you love, the more you suffer.
Vincent Van Gogh
To express hope by some star, the eagerness of a soul by a sunset radiance. Certainly there is nothing in that of stereoscopic realism, but is it not something that actually exists?
Vincent Van Gogh
Painting as it is now promises to become more subtle - more like music and less like sculpture - and above all it promises color. If only it keeps this promise.
Vincent Van Gogh
The painter of the future will be a colorist unlike anything yet.
Vincent Van Gogh
To die for the sake of dying - I prefer to die of passion than to die of boredom!
Vincent Van Gogh
I want to do drawings which touch some people... In either figure or landscape I wish to express, not sentimental melancholy, but serious sorrow.
Vincent Van Gogh
I cannot help thinking that the best way of knowing God is to love many things. Love this friend, this person, this thing, whatever you like, and you will be on the right road to understanding Him better.
Vincent Van Gogh
Art demands constant observation.
Vincent Van Gogh
How can I be useful, of what service can I be? There is something inside me, what can it be?
Vincent Van Gogh
