More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh

Image
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
Image
Do not quench your inspiration and your imagination do not become the slave of your model.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I am not strictly speaking mad, for my mind is absolutely normal in the intervals, and even more so than before. But during the attacks it is terrible - and then I lose consciousness of everything. But that spurs me on to work and to seriousness, as a miner who is always in danger makes haste in what he does.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I must continue to follow the path I take now. If I do nothing, if I study nothing, if I cease searching, then, woe is me, I am lost. That is how I look at it - keep going, keep going come what may.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Whoever lives sincerely and encounters much trouble and disappointment without being bowed down is worth more than one who has always sailed before the wind and has only known prosperity.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
One can speak poetry just by arranging colors well, just as one can say comforting things in music.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Rembrandt is so deeply mysterious that he says things for which there are no words in any language.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
The cypresses are always occupying my thoughts.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
One must work and dare if one really wants to live.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
What preys on my mind is simply this one question: what am I good for, could I not be of service or use in some way?
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Since visiting the abatoirs of S. France I have stopped eating meat.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
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
Image
The sadness will last forever.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
What am I in most people's eyes? A nonentity or an eccentric and disagreeable man... I should want my work to show what is in the heart of such an eccentric, of such a nobody.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
There are colors which cause each other to shine brilliantly, which form a couple which complete each other like man and woman.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
To die for the sake of dying - I prefer to die of passion than to die of boredom!
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
You can't be at the pole and the equator at the same time. You must choose your own line, as I hope to do, and it will probably be color.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
The great isn't something accidental it must be willed.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
As practice makes perfect, I cannot but make progress each drawing one makes, each study one paints, is a step forward.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I want to do drawings which touch some people... In either figure or landscape I wish to express, not sentimental melancholy, but serious sorrow.
