Image
For myself, I declare I don't know anything about it. But the sight of the stars always makes me dream.
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
It astonishes me already when I compare my condition today with what it was a month ago. Before that I knew well enough one could fracture one's legs and arms and recover afterward, but I did not know that you could fracture the brain in your head and recover from that too.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
As we advance in life it becomes more and more difficult, but in fighting the difficulties the inmost strength of the heart is developed.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
It is difficult to know oneself, but it isn't easy to paint oneself either.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I do not know myself how I paint it. I sit down with a white board before the spot that strikes me. I look at what is before my eyes, and say to myself, that white board must become something.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I tried to express through red and green the terrible passions of humanity.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
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
Image
The victory one would gain after a whole life of work and effort is better than one that is gained sooner.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
It interests me tremendously to make copies... I started it by chance and I find it teaches me things.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Doing little things well is a step toward doing big things better.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Color in a picture is like enthusiasm in life.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Suffice it to say that black and white are also colors... for their simultaneous contrast is as striking as that of green and red, for instance.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
...and then, I have nature and art and poetry, and if that is not enough, what is enough?
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I have played hell somewhat with the truthfulness of the colours.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I'll start with small things.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
What is drawing? It is working oneself through an invisible iron wall that seems to stand between what one feels and what one can do.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I am seeking, I am striving, I am in it with all my heart.
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

As practice makes perfect, I cannot but make progress each drawing one makes, each study one paints, is a step forward.
