Image
Do not quench your inspiration and your imagination do not become the slave of your model.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
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
Image
I see drawings and pictures in the poorest huts, in the dirtiest corner. And my mind is drawn toward these things by an irresistible force.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
As a painter I shall never signify anything of importance. I feel it Absolutely.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
If boyhood and youth are but vanity, must it not be our ambition to become men?

Image
The sunflower is mine, in a way.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I want to paint men and women with that something of the external which the halo used to symbolize, and which we now seek to give by the actual radiance and vibrancy of our colorings.
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
You have first to experience what you want to express.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
What molting time is to birds, so adversity or misfortune is ... for us humans.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
But you people do not understand me, and I am afraid you never will.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
It is no more easy to make a good picture than it is to find a diamond or a pearl. It means trouble and you risk your life for it.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
For the great doesn't happen through impulse alone, and is a succession of little things that are brought together.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Painting as it is now promises to become more subtle - more like music and less like sculpture - and above all it promises color. If only it keeps this promise.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
In spite of everything I shall rise again: I will take up my pencil, which I have forsaken in my great discouragement, and I will go on with my drawing.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I want to touch people with my art. I want them to say he feels deeply, he feels tenderly.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
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
Image
What is true is that I have at times earned my own crust of bread, and at other times a friend has given it to me out of the goodness of his heart. I have lived whatever way I could, for better or for worse, taking things just as they came.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
The cure for him would be to take a good long look at some potato plants, which have lately had such a deep and distinctive colour and tone, instead of driving himself mad looking at pieces of yellow satin and gold leather.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Art demands persistent work, work in spite of everything, and continuous observations. By persistent, I mean not only continuous work, but also not giving up your opinion at the bidding of such and such a person.
