Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “I hope to depart in no other way than looking back with love and wistfulness and thinking, oh paintings that I would have made...” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything? If you hear a voice within saying ‘You are not a painter’ then by all means paint – and that voice will be silenced.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “Gauguin says that when sailors have to move a heavy load or raise an anchor, they all sing together to keep them up and give them vim. That’s just what artists lack!” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “For me, life may well continue in solitude. I have never perceived those to whom I have been most attached other than as through a glass, darkly.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “Often whole days pass without my speaking to anyone.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “I wanted to make people think of a totally different way of living from that which we, educated people, live. I would absolutely not want anyone to find it beautiful or good without a thought.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “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
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “I do not know myself how I paint it. I sit down with a white board before the spot that strikes me. I look at what is before my eyes, and say to myself, that white board must become something.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “I always dream a painting like that, with a group of lively figures of the pals.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “If I were to think of and dwell on disastrous possibilities, I could do nothing. I throw myself headlong into my work, and come up again with my studies.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “Everything on earth changes – we have no abiding city here – it is the experience of everybody. That it is God’s will that we should part with what is dearest on earth – we ourselves change in many respects, we are not what we once were, we shall not remain what we are now.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “Both she and I have grief enough and trouble enough, but as for regrets – neither of us have any.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “But what is it to me whether my chance is slight or great? I mean, must I consider this when I love? No – no reckoning; one loves because one loves. Then we keep our heads clear, and do not cloud our minds, nor do we hide our feelings, nor smother the fire and light, but simply say: Thank God, I love.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “I hope I shall be able to make some drawings in which there is something human.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “Study, analyse the social structure – that’s always far more effective than moralising.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “And yet I go on; if we are tired isn’t it then because we have already walked a long way, and if it is true that man has his battle to fight on earth, is not then the feeling of weariness and the burning of the head a sign that we have been struggling? When we are working at a difficult task and strive after a good thing we fight a righteous battle, the direct reward of which is that we are kept from much evil.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “But I myself do not think I cannot make mistakes – I am too conscious of my many errors to be able to say this or that is the right manner and this or that, the wrong one. That goes without saying. But I am not indifferent, I think it wrong to be so. I think it one’s duty to try to do the right thing, even knowing that one cannot go through life without making mistakes, without regret or sorrow. Somewhere I read, Some good must come by clinging to the right.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “I would sooner paint people’s eyes than cathedrals, for there is something in the eyes that is lacking in a cathedral – however solemn and impressive it may be. To my mind a man’s soul, be it that of a poor beggar or of a streetwalker, is more interesting.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “The worse I get along with people the more I learn to have faith in Nature and concentrate on her.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “You can live to be old or young, but you’ll always have moments when you lose your head.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “I’ve just kept on ceaselessly painting in order to learn painting.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “All the same, I’m sure that if one is brave then recovery comes from within, through complete acceptance of suffering and death, and through the surrender of one’s will and love of self. But that’s no good to me, I like to paint, to see people and things and everything that makes our life – artificial, if you like. Yes, real life would be something else, but I don’t think I belong to that category of souls who are ready to live, and also ready to suffer, at any moment.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “When using colors to recreate a general harmony of tones in nature, one loses it by painfully exact imitation. One keeps it by recreating in an equivalent color range, and that may not be exactly, or far from exactly, like the model.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “Housed in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, the following plate was completed in 1886, portraying the unusual subject of a skeleton smoking a cigarette. The work has roused many interpretations, including a depiction of mortality and a prophetic cry of the dangers of tobacco. In the next two years, van Gogh painted two other paintings with skulls, illustrating his fascination with the macabre subject.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “One night I went for a walk by the sea along the empty shore. It was not gay, but neither was it sad; it was- beautiful. The deep blue sky was flicked with clouds of a blue deeper than the fundamental blue of intense cobalt, and others of a clearer blue, like the blue whiteness of the Milky Way. On the blue depth the stars were sparkling, greenish, yellow, white, rose, brighter, flashing more like jewels than they do even in Paris. The sea was a very deep ultramarine.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “Life is not long for anybody, and the problem is only to make something of it.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “Don’t regret that your life is too easy, mine is rather easy too; I think that life is pretty long and that the time will arrive soon enough in which “another shall gird thee and carry thee where thou wouldst not.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “To express the love of two lovers by the marriage of two complementary colours, their blending and their contrast, the mysterious vibrations of related tones. To express the thought of a brow by the radiance of a light tone against a dark background. To express hope by some star. Someone’s passion by the radiance of the setting sun. That’s certainly no realistic trompe l’oeil, but something that really exists, isn’t it?” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “My opinion is that the best thing would be to work on till art lovers feel drawn toward it of their own accord, instead of having to praise or to explain it.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “The simple minded know many things that the wise ignore.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “And although it was in a hospital that she lay and I sat next to her – it is always that eternal poetry of Christmas night with the infant in the stable, as the old Dutch painters conceived it and MIllet and Breton – a light in the darkness, the brightness in the middle of a dark night. And so I hung a large etching after Rembrandt over it, the two women by the cradle, one of them reading from the Bible by candlelight, while the great shadows cast a deep chiaroscuro over the whole room.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “I believe I do much better for the time being by first copying some good things than by working without that foundation.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “It always strikes me, and it is very peculiar, that, whenever we see the image of indescribable and unutterable desolation – of loneliness, poverty, and misery, the end and extreme of things – the thought of God comes into one’s mind.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “In general, and most especially with artists, I pay as much attention to the man who does the work, as to the work itself.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “There are idlers and idlers, who form a contrast.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “What kind of love was it that I felt when I was twenty? It is difficult to define – my physical passions were very weak then, perhaps because of a few years of great poverty and hard work. But my intellectual passions were strong, meaning that without asking anything in return, without wanting any pity, I wanted only to give, but not to receive. Foolish, wrong, exaggerated, proud, rash – for in love one must not only give, but also take; and, reversing it, one must not only take but also give.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “Here everything is so wholly what I consider beautiful. In other words, there is peace here.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “In a sense I’m glad that I’ve never learned how to paint.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “That thought, I can’t find the right words, is based not on something negative but on something positive. On the positive awareness that art is something great and higher than our own skill or knowledge or learning. That art is something which though produced by human hands, is not wrought by hands alone, but wells up from a deeper source, from man’s soul, while much of the proficiency and technical expertise associated with art reminds me of what would be called self-righteousness in religion.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “Do not think too deeply about these things – gradually they will become clearer to you.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “But you must love with a high, serious intimate sympathy, with a will, with intelligence, and you must always seek to know more thoroughly, better, and more.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “The world concerns me only in so far as I owe it a certain debt and duty, so to speak, because I have walked this earth for 30 years, and out of gratitude would like to leave some memento in the form of drawings and paintings – not made to please this school or that, but to express a genuine human feeling.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “That I was not suited to commerce or academic study in no way proves that I should also be unfit to be a painter.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “Well, being sorry and giving up doesn’t help us on; the only thing to do is to push forward.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “To the one party, woman is always heresy and diabolical. To me, the opposite.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “Ah, Manet has come very, very close to it and Courbet – the marrying of form and colour.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “At present this horror of life is already less pronounced, and the melancholy less acute. But I still have no will, and hardly any desires, or none at all that are to do with ordinary life.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “Well, what shall I say; our inward thoughts, do they ever show outwardly? There may be a great fire in our soul, but no one ever comes to warm himself at it, and the passers-by see only a little bit of smoke coming through the chimney, and pass on their way.” — Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “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
Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “Anyone who leads an upright life and experiences real difficulty and disappointment and yet is not crushed by them is worth more than one for whom everything has always been plain sailing and who has known nothing but relative prosperity.” — Vincent van Gogh
