I am still far from being what I want to be, but with God's help I shall succeed.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Sometimes art seems to be something very sublime, and, as you say, something sacred.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
There is something intimate about painting I cannot explain to you ? but it is so delightful just for expressing one's feelings.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
It is difficult to know oneself, but it isn't easy to paint oneself either.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
The beginning is perhaps more difficult than anything else, but keep heart, it will turn out all right.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
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
Image
An artist needn't be a clergyman or a churchwarden, but he certainly must have a warm heart for his fellow men.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
What am I in the eyes of most people - a nonentity, an eccentric, or an unpleasant person - somebody who has no position in society and will never have in short, the lowest of the low. All right, then - even if that were absolutely true, then I should one day like to show by my work what such an eccentric, such a nobody, has in his heart.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
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
Image
I think that I still have it in my heart someday to paint a bookshop with the front yellow and pink in the evening...like a light in the midst of the darkness.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Ah! My dear friend painting is to us what the music of Berlioz and Wagner was before us - a consolatory art for sore hearts! And yet there are only a few like you and me who feel it!!!
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Both she and I have grief enough and trouble enough, but as for regrets – neither of us have any.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Do not become the slave of your model.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I don't know anything with certainty, but seeing the stars makes me dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I work as diligently on my canvases as the laborers do in their fields.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I dream of painting and then I paint my dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
The more I become decomposed, the more sick and fragile I am, the more I become an artist.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I consciously choose the dog's path through life. I shall be poor I shall be a painter.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I can't work without a model. I won't say I turn my back on nature ruthlessly in order to turn a study into a picture, arranging the colors, enlarging and simplifying but in the matter of form I am too afraid of departing from the possible and the true.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
For instead of trying to reproduce exactly what I see before me, I make more arbitrary use of colour to express myself more forcefully.
