More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
I tried to express through red and green the terrible passions of humanity.
Vincent Van Gogh
I have a firm faith in art, a firm confidence in its being a powerful stream which carries a man to a harbor, though he himself must do his bit too.
Vincent Van Gogh
In spite of everything, I shall rise again
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. As we advance in life it becomes more and more difficult, but in fighting the difficulties the inmost strength of the heart is developed.
Vincent Van Gogh
The uglier, older, meaner, iller, poorer I get, the more I wish to take my revenge by doing brilliant color, well arranged, resplendent.
Vincent Van Gogh
As practice makes perfect, I cannot but make progress each drawing one makes, each study one paints, is a step forward.
Vincent Van Gogh
The great isn't something accidental it must be willed.
Vincent Van Gogh
I'm now painting with all the elan of a Marseillais eating soup, which won't surprise you when I tell you I'm painting large sunflowers. The idea? To decorate the studio, now there's hope of Gauguin living here. I aim at a dozen panels of sunflowers in the room I've set aside for Gauguin.
Vincent Van Gogh
Don't lose heart if it's very difficult at times, everything will come out all right and nobody can in the beginning do as he wishes.
Vincent Van Gogh
I work as diligently on my canvases as the laborers do in their fields.
Vincent Van Gogh
If one truly loves nature one finds beauty everywhere.
Vincent Van Gogh
Do you know that drawing with words is also an art... ?
Vincent Van Gogh
I'll start with small things.
Vincent Van Gogh
One can never study nature too much and too hard
Vincent Van Gogh
For loneliness, worries, difficulties, the unsatisfied need for kindness and sympathy - that is what is hard to bear.
Vincent Van Gogh
Someone has a great fire in his soul and nobody ever comes to warm themselves at it, and passers-by see nothing but a little smoke at the top of the chimney and then go on their way.
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
Purity of soul and impurity of body can go together.
Vincent Van Gogh
Do you know what makes the prison disappear? Every deep, genuine affection. Being friends, being brothers, loving, that is what opens the prison, with supreme power, by some magic force. Without these one stays dead. But whenever affection is revived, there life revives.
Vincent Van Gogh
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!!!
