More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
At times it is not easy for me to take up living again.
Vincent Van Gogh
I believe it is one's duty to paint the rich and magnificent aspects of nature. We need gaiety and happiness, hope and love.
Vincent Van Gogh
Purity of soul and impurity of body can go together.
Vincent Van Gogh
A good painting should be the equivalent of a good deed.
Vincent Van Gogh
Great things do not just happen by impulse, but as a succession of small things linked together.
Vincent Van Gogh
Love always brings difficulties, that is true, but the good side of it is that it gives energy.
Vincent Van Gogh
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
Bookstores always remind me that there are good things in this world.
Vincent Van Gogh
The worse I get along with people the more I learn to have faith in Nature and concentrate on her.
Vincent Van Gogh
How to achieve such anomalies, such alterations and re-fashionings of reality so what comes out of it are lies, if you like, but lies that are more than literal truth.
Vincent Van Gogh
If boyhood and youth are but vanity, must it not be our ambition to become men?
Vincent Van Gogh
That this awareness of my own fallibility will prevent me from making many mistakes doesn't alter the fact that I'm bound to make a great many mistakes anyway. But if we fall, we get up again!
Vincent Van Gogh
I do not intend to spare myself, not to avoid emotions or difficulties. I don't care much whether I live a longer or shorter time... the world concerns me only in so far as I feel a certain debt toward it, because I have walked on this earth for thirty years, and out of gratitude I want to leave some souvenir.
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
It is with the reading of books the same as with looking at pictures one must, without doubt, without hesitations, with assurance, admire what is beautiful.
Vincent Van Gogh
You have to first experience what you want to express
Vincent Van Gogh
So often, a visit to a bookshop has cheered me, and reminded me that there are good things in the world.
Vincent Van Gogh
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
It's better to have a gay life of it than to commit suicide.
Vincent Van Gogh
Try to walk as much as you can, and keep your love for nature, for that is the true way to learn to understand art more and more. Painters understand nature and love her and teach us to see her. If one really loves nature, one can find beauty everywhere.
Vincent Van Gogh
