More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
I would like to leave this world and never return. I severed my ear, but how I wish that I had severed my heart. I shall never amount to anything.
Vincent Van Gogh
You will say that everyone has seen landscapes and figures from childhood on. The question is: Has everybody also been reflexive as a child? Has everybody who has seen them also loved heath, fields, meadows, woods, and the snow and the rain and the s.
Vincent Van Gogh
I feel a certain calm. There is safety in the midst of danger. What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?
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
Painters understand nature and love it, and teach us to see.
Vincent Van Gogh
For instead of trying to reproduce exactly what I see before me, I make more arbitrary use of colour to express myself more forcefully.
Vincent Van Gogh
Here everything is so wholly what I consider beautiful. In other words, there is peace here.
Vincent Van Gogh
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
I often think of you all, one cannot do what one wants in life. The more you feel attached to a spot, the more ruthlessly you are compelled to leave it, but the memories remain, and one remembers - as in a looking glass, darkly - one's absent friends.
Vincent Van Gogh
I try more and more to be myself, caring relatively little whether people approve or disapprove.
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
What am I in most people's eyes? A nonentity or an eccentric and disagreeable man... I should want my work to show what is in the heart of such an eccentric, of such a nobody.
Vincent Van Gogh
It's better to have a gay life of it than to commit suicide.
Vincent Van Gogh
What is drawing? How does one get there? It's working one's way through an invisible iron wall that seems to stand between what one feels and what one can do. How can one get through that wall? - since hammering on it doesn't help at all. In my view, one must undermine the wall and grind through it slowly and patiently.
Vincent Van Gogh
Life is not long for anybody, and the problem is only to make something of it.
Vincent Van Gogh
Surely the true path is to dive deep into nature.
Vincent Van Gogh
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
So let us go forward quietly, each on his own path, forever making for the light.
Vincent Van Gogh
We are having wind and rain here, and I am very glad not to be alone. I work from memory on bad days, and that would not do if I were alone.
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
