More quotes by 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
It may be true that there is no God here, but there must be one not far off, and at such a moment one feels His presence which comes to the same as saying (and I readily give this sincere profession of faith): I believe in God, and that it is His wi
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
Rembrandt is so deeply mysterious that he says things for which there are no words in any language.
Vincent Van Gogh
The victory one would gain after a whole life of work and effort is better than one that is gained sooner.
Vincent Van Gogh
Accurate drawing, accurate colour, is perhaps not the essential thing to aim at, because the reflection of reality in a mirror, if it could be caught, colour and all, would not be a picture at all, no more than a photograph.
Vincent Van Gogh
I see drawings and pictures in the poorest huts, in the dirtiest corner. And my mind is drawn toward these things by an irresistible force.
Vincent Van Gogh
What is true is that I have at times earned my own crust of bread, and at other times a friend has given it to me out of the goodness of his heart. I have lived whatever way I could, for better or for worse, taking things just as they came.
Vincent Van Gogh
The uglier, older, meaner, iller, poorer I get, the more I wish to take my revenge by doing brilliant color, well arranged, resplendent.
Vincent Van Gogh
To know life, one must love many things.
Vincent Van Gogh
It is better to be high-spirited even though one makes more mistakes, than to be narrow-minded and all too prudent.
Vincent Van Gogh
Painting is a faith, and it imposes the duty to disregard public opinion.
Vincent Van Gogh
Love always causes trouble, that's true, but in its favour, it energizes.
Vincent Van Gogh
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
There is a sun, a light that for want of another word I can only call yellow, pale sulphur yellow, pale golden citron. How lovely yellow is!
Vincent Van Gogh
a likeness different from the products of the God-fearing photographer.
Vincent Van Gogh
Bookstores always remind me that there are good things in this world.
Vincent Van Gogh
As long as autumn lasts, I shall not have hands, canvas and colors enough to paint the beautiful things I see.
Vincent Van Gogh
It is the painting that makes me so happy these days.
Vincent Van Gogh
The more I think about it, the more I realize there is nothing more artistic than to love others.
Vincent Van Gogh
