More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
But for one's health as you say, it is very necessary to work in the garden and see the flowers growing.
Vincent Van Gogh
The more ugly, old, nasty, ill, and poor I become the more I want to get my own back by producing vibrant, well-arranged, radiant colour.
Vincent Van Gogh
The more I think about it, the more I realize there is nothing more artistic than to love others.
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
When we are working at a difficult task and strive after a good thing, we are fighting a righteous battle, the direct reward of which is that we are kept from much evil.
Vincent Van Gogh
To believe in God for me is to feel that there is a God, not a dead one, or a stuffed one, who with irresistible force urges us towards more loving.
Vincent Van Gogh
I am risking my life for my work, and half my reason has gone.
Vincent Van Gogh
If your inner voice is telling you that you can't paint, by all means, hurry up and paint and silence the voice.
Vincent Van Gogh
I never get tired of the blue sky.
Vincent Van Gogh
I had a new idea in my head... this time it's just simply my bedroom, only here colour is to do everything, and, giving by its simplification a grander style to things, is to be suggestive here of rest or of sleep in general. In a word, to look at the picture ought to rest the brain or rather the imagination.
Vincent Van Gogh
By working hard, old man, I hope to make something good one day. I haven't yet, but I am pursuing it and fighting for it . . . .
Vincent Van Gogh
We spent our whole lives in unconsous excercise of the art of expressing our thoughts with the help of words
Vincent Van Gogh
Love is something eternal.
Vincent Van Gogh
Often whole days pass without my speaking to anyone, except to ask for diner or coffee. And it has been like that form the beginning.
Vincent Van Gogh
Just slap something on it when you see a blank canvas staring at you with a sort of imbecility.
Vincent Van Gogh
I want to get to the point where people say of my work, that man feels deeply.
Vincent Van Gogh
I am no friend of present-day Christianity, though its Founder was sublime.
Vincent Van Gogh
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
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
Only when I fall do I get up again.
Vincent Van Gogh
