More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
Your profession is not what brings home your weekly paycheck, your profession is what you're put here on earth to do, with such passion and such intensity that it becomes spiritual in calling.
Vincent Van Gogh
There is no blue without yellow and without orange, and if you put in blue, then you must put in yellow, and orange too, mustn't you? Oh well, you will tell me that what I write to you are only banalities.
Vincent Van Gogh
Man is not on the earth solely for his own happiness. He is there to realize great things for humanity.
Vincent Van Gogh
Even the knowledge of my own fallibility cannot keep me from making mistakes. Only when I fall do I get up again.
Vincent Van Gogh
If one were to say but few words, though ones with meaning, one would do better than to say many that were only empty sounds, and just as easy to utter as they were of little use.
Vincent Van Gogh
The more I become decomposed, the more sick and fragile I am, the more I become an artist.
Vincent Van Gogh
There is nothing more beautiful than nature early in the morning.
Vincent Van Gogh
I use color in a completely arbitrary way in order to express myself powerfully.
Vincent Van Gogh
My brushwork is quite unsystematic. I slam the paint on in all sorts of ways and leave each result to take care of itself.
Vincent Van Gogh
You know, what makes the prison disappear is every deep, serious attachment. To be friends, to be brothers, to love that opens the prison through sovereign power, through a most powerful spell. But he who doesn't have that remains in death. But where sympathy springs up again, life springs up again.
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
Seeing that I am so busily occupied with myself just now, I want to try to paint my self-portrait in writing.
Vincent Van Gogh
Exaggerate the essential, leave the obvious vague.
Vincent Van Gogh
I long so much to make beautiful things. But beautiful things require effort and disappointment and perseverance.
Vincent Van Gogh
If one feels the need of something grand, something infinite, something that makes one feel aware of God, one need not go far to find it.
Vincent Van Gogh
What is done in love is done well.
Vincent Van Gogh
The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore.
Vincent Van Gogh
Well, do you know what I hope for, once I allow myself to begin to hope? [...] That you find in your love for people something not only to work for, but to comfort and restore you when there is a need.
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
Painting demands an intelligent model.
