In the fullness of artistic life there is, and remains, and will always come back at times, that homesick longing for the truly ideal life that can never come true.

More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
The thing has already taken form in my mind before I start it. The first attempts are absolutely unbearable. I say this because I want you to know that if you see something worthwhile in what I am doing, it is not by accident but because of real direction and purpose.
Vincent Van Gogh
If one is master of one thing and understands one thing well, one has at the same time, insight into and understanding of many things.
Vincent Van Gogh
In spite of everything, I shall rise again
Vincent Van Gogh
I know for sure that I have an instinct for color, and that it will come to me more and more, that painting is in the very marrow of my bones.
Vincent Van Gogh
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
I assure you that there's a lot involved in compositions with figures. ... It's like weaving... you must control and keep an eye on several things at once.
Vincent Van Gogh
That I was not suited to commerce or academic study in no way proves that I should also be unfit to be a painter.
Vincent Van Gogh
The more ugly, older, more cantankerous, more ill and poorer I become, the more I try to make amends by making my colours more vibrant, more balanced and beaming.
Vincent Van Gogh
A woman is not old as long as she loves and is loved
Vincent Van Gogh
But you must love with a sublime , genuine , profound sympathy , with devotion, with intelligence , and you must try all the time to understand Him more, better and yet more. That will lead to God , that will lead to an unshakeable faith .
Vincent Van Gogh
Seek only light and freedom and do not immerse yourself too deeply in the worldly mire.
Vincent Van Gogh
No, no thought to the winnings. One loves because one loves.
Vincent Van Gogh
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
You know, what makes the prison disappear is every deep, serious attachment. To be friends, to be brothers, to love that opens the prison through sovereign power, through a most powerful spell. But he who doesn't have that remains in death. But where sympathy springs up again, life springs up again.
Vincent Van Gogh
I believe I do much better for the time being by first copying some good things than by working without that foundation
Vincent Van Gogh
The sunflower is mine, in a way.
Vincent Van Gogh
Poetry surrounds us everywhere, but putting it on paper is, alas, not so easy as looking at it.
Vincent Van Gogh
Life itself, too, is forever turning an infinitely vacant, dispiriting blank side towards man on which nothing appears, any more than it does on a blank canvas. But no matter how vacant and vain, how dead life may appear to be, the man of faith, of energy, of warmth, who knows something, will not be put off so easily.
Vincent Van Gogh
The heart of man is very much like the sea, it has its storms, it has its tides and in its depths it has its pearls too
Vincent Van Gogh
I will not live without love.
Vincent Van Gogh
