More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
Art is but imitation of nature.
Vincent Van Gogh
The diseases that we civilized people labor under most are melancholy and pessimism.
Vincent Van Gogh
We feel lonely now and then and long for friends and think we should be quite different and happier if we found a friend of whom we might say: “He is the one.” But you, too, will begin to learn that there is much self-deception behind this longing if we yielded too much to it, it would lead us from the road.
Vincent Van Gogh
Though I am often in the depths of misery, there is still calmness, pure harmony and music inside me.
Vincent Van Gogh
Normality is a paved road: It’s comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it.
Vincent Van Gogh
Let me stop there, but my God, how beautiful Shakespeare is, who else is as mysterious as he is his language and method are like a brush trembling with excitement and ecstasy. But one must learn to read, just as one must learn to see and learn to live.
Vincent Van Gogh
One must never let the fire go out in one's soul, but keep it burning.
Vincent Van Gogh
Art is something greater and higher than our own skill or knowledge or learning. That art is something which, though produced by human hands, is not wrought by hands alone, but wells up from a deeper source, from a man's soul.
Vincent Van Gogh
Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and death be like autumn leaves. Rabindranath Tagore What a simple thing death is, just as simple as the falling of an autumn leaf.
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
I am astonished at the high prices paid for works by painters who are dead, prices none of them could expect when they were alive. It is a kind of tulip trade, in which living painters suffer but do not profit.
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
Man is not on the earth solely for his own happiness. He is there to realize great things for humanity.
Vincent Van Gogh
One begins by plaguing oneself to no purpose in order to be true to nature, and one concludes by working quietly from one's own palette alone, and then nature is the result.
Vincent Van Gogh
Don't lose heart if it's very difficult at times, everything will come out all right and nobody can in the beginning do as he wishes.
Vincent Van Gogh
It is difficult to know oneself, but it isn't easy to paint oneself either.
Vincent Van Gogh
I work as diligently on my canvases as the laborers do in their fields.
Vincent Van Gogh
I always dream a painting like that, with a group of lively figures of the pals.
Vincent Van Gogh
No blue without yellow and without orange, and if you do blue, then do yellow and orange as well, surely.
Vincent Van Gogh
But what's your ultimate goal, you'll say. That goal will become clearer, will take shape slowly and surely, as the croquis becomes a sketch and the sketch a painting, as one works more seriously, as one digs deeper into the originally vague idea, the first fugitive, passing thought, unless it becomes firm.
Vincent Van Gogh
