Other Quotes by Vincent Van Gogh

If one truly loves nature one finds beauty everywhere. Vincent Van Gogh
But after all i find in my work an echo of what struck me. I see that nature has told me something, has spoken to me, and that i have put it down in shorthand. In my shorthand there may be words that cannot be deciphered. There may be mistakes or gap Vincent Van Gogh
Just slap something on it when you see a blank canvas staring at you with a sort of imbecility. Vincent Van Gogh
Purity of soul and impurity of body can go together. Vincent Van Gogh
In a sense i'm glad that i've never learned how to paint. Vincent Van Gogh
There is no blue without yellow and without orange, and if you put in blue, then you must put in yellow, and orange too, mustn't you? Oh well, you will tell me that what i write to you are only banalities. Vincent Van Gogh
I put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process. Vincent Van Gogh
The lamps are burning and the starry sky is over it all. 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
If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced. Vincent Van Gogh
An artist need not be a minister or a collector in church, but he must have a warm heart for people, and i find it a noble thing that, for example, no winter passed without the graphic doing something to keep alive sympathy for the poor. Vincent Van Gogh
Seeing that i am so busily occupied with myself just now, i want to try to paint my self-portrait in writing. Vincent Van Gogh
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
A woman is not old as long as she loves and is loved Vincent Van Gogh
I began to paint again, even though i could barely hold the brush, but knowing exactly what i wanted to paint, i began three more large canvases... Of large wheat fields under cloudy skies, and it did not take a great deal to express sadness and loneliness... I believe these paintings say what words cannot. 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
I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day. Vincent Van Gogh
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
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
Everywhere we look, complex magic of nature blazes before our eyes. Vincent Van Gogh
I dream of painting and then i paint my dream. Vincent Van Gogh
Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well. Vincent Van Gogh
I believe more and more that god must not be judged on this earth. It is one of his sketches that has turned out badly. Vincent Van Gogh
Suffice it to say that black and white are also colors... For their simultaneous contrast is as striking as that of green and red, for instance. Vincent Van Gogh
