More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
You have first to experience what you want to express.
Vincent Van Gogh
There is the same difference in a person before and after he is in love, as there is in an unlighted lamp and one that is burning.
Vincent Van Gogh
To die for the sake of dying - I prefer to die of passion than to die of boredom!
Vincent Van Gogh
Poetry surrounds us everywhere, but putting it on paper is, alas, not so easy as looking at it.
Vincent Van Gogh
Your profession is not what brings home your weekly paycheck, your profession is what you're put here on earth to do, with such passion and such intensity that it becomes spiritual in calling.
Vincent Van Gogh
Exaggerate the essential, leave the obvious vague.
Vincent Van Gogh
So let us go forward quietly, each on his own path, forever making for the light.
Vincent Van Gogh
If one hasn't a horse, one is one's own horse.
Vincent Van Gogh
Seek only light and freedom and do not immerse yourself too deeply in the worldly mire.
Vincent Van Gogh
Occasionally, in times of worry, I've longed to be stylish, but on second thought I say no-just let me be myself-and express rough, yet true things with rough workmanship.
Vincent Van Gogh
How to achieve such anomalies, such alterations and re-fashionings of reality so what comes out of it are lies, if you like, but lies that are more than literal truth.
Vincent Van Gogh
Keep your love of nature, for that is the true way to understand art more and more.
Vincent Van Gogh
And love makes one calmer about many things, and in that way, one is more fit for one's work.
Vincent Van Gogh
...to look at the stars always makes me dream, as simply as I dream over the black dots of a map representing towns and villages. Why, I ask myself, should the shining dots of the sky not be as accessible as the black dots on the map of France?
Vincent Van Gogh
Accurate drawing, accurate colour, is perhaps not the essential thing to aim at, because the reflection of reality in a mirror, if it could be caught, colour and all, would not be a picture at all, no more than a photograph.
Vincent Van Gogh
... life is too short to do the whole.
Vincent Van Gogh
Painting is a faith, and it imposes the duty to disregard public opinion.
Vincent Van Gogh
What molting time is to birds, so adversity or misfortune is ... for us humans.
Vincent Van Gogh
The great isn't something accidental it must be willed.
Vincent Van Gogh
The beginning is perhaps more difficult than anything else, but keep heart, it will turn out all right.
Vincent Van Gogh
