More quotes by 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
Painting is a faith and that it brings with it the duty to pay no heed to public opinion - and that in it one conquers by perseverance and not by giving in.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Well, I dare not allow myself any illusions, and I am afraid it may never happen that Father and Mother will really appreciate my art. It is not their fault we do not see the same things with the same eyes, or have the same thoughts raised in us by them. They will never be able to understand what painting is.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
If one keeps loving faithfully what is really worth loving, and does not waste one's love on insignificant and unworthy and meaningless things, one will get more light by and by and grow stronger.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I always dream a painting like that, with a group of lively figures of the pals.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I wanted to make people think of a totally different way of living from that which we, educated people, live. I would absolutely not want anyone to find it beautiful or good without a thought.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
When using colors to recreate a general harmony of tones in nature, one loses it by painfully exact imitation. One keeps it by recreating in an equivalent color range, and that may not be exactly, or far from exactly, like the model.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I lost my job as an art salesman. It was the customer's fault. He wanted to buy the wrong paintings.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I want to touch people with my art. I want them to say he feels deeply, he feels tenderly.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
If one truly loves nature one finds beauty everywhere.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
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
Image
To the one party, woman is always heresy and diabolical. To me, the opposite.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Success is sometimes the outcome of a whole string of failures.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Ah! My dear friend painting is to us what the music of Berlioz and Wagner was before us - a consolatory art for sore hearts! And yet there are only a few like you and me who feel it!!!
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I am painting with the same enthusiasm as a Marseillaise eats bouillabaisse ... I am painting big sunflowers.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
At times it is not easy for me to take up living again.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
So often, a visit to a bookshop has cheered me, and reminded me that there are good things in the world.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Though I am often in the depths of misery, there is still calmness, pure harmony and music inside me.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
But on the road that I'm on I must continue if I do nothing, if I don't study, if I don't keep on trying, then I'm lost, then woe betide me. That's how I see this, to keep on, keep on, that's what's needed.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
One should arrive at leading one's conscience to a state of development so that it becomes the voice of a better and higher self, of which the ordinary self is a servant.
