Vincent Van Gogh Quotes

It is only too true that a lot of artists are mentally ill - it’s a life which, to put it mildly, makes one an outsider. I’m all right when I completely immerse myself in work, but I’ll always remain half crazy Picture Quote #1

I long so much to make beautiful things. But beautiful things require effort and disappointment and perseverance Picture Quote #1

Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and death be like autumn leaves. Rabindranath Tagore What a simple thing death is, just as simple as the falling of an autumn leaf Picture Quote #1

But what’s your ultimate goal, you’ll say. That goal will become clearer, will take shape slowly and surely, as the croquis becomes a sketch and the sketch a painting, as one works more seriously, as one digs deeper into the originally vague idea, the first fugitive, passing thought, unless it becomes firm Picture Quote #1

Painting it was hard graft. There are one and a half large tubes of white in the ground - yet that ground is very dark Picture Quote #1

Painting it was hard graft... in addition red, yellow, brown ochre, black, terra sienna, bistre, and the result is a red-brown that varies from bistre to deep wine-red and to pale, blond reddish Picture Quote #1

To express the love of two lovers by a marriage of two complementary colors, their mingling and their opposition, the mysterious vibrations of Kindred tones. To express the thought of a brow by the radiance of light tone against a somber background; to express hope by some star, the eagerness of a soul by a sunset radiance Picture Quote #1

It was Richepin who said somewhere, ‘The love of art means loss of real love’... True, but on the other hand, real love makes you disgusted with art Picture Quote #1

I cannot help thinking that the best way of knowing God is to love many things. Love this friend, this person, this thing, whatever you like, and you will be on the right road to understanding Him better Picture Quote #1

Van Gogh was so under appreciated in his time, he sold only one of his 900 paintings while alive. Posthumously, he became one of the most famous artists of all time and his work is now considered priceless. Oh the irony Picture Quote #1

We have very beautiful bad weather here at present - rain, wind, thunder - but with splendid effects; that’s why I like it Picture Quote #1

As long as autumn lasts, I shall not have hands, canvas and colors enough to paint the beautiful things I see Picture Quote #1

Try to walk as much as you can, and keep your love for nature, for that is the true way to learn to understand art more and more. Painters understand nature and love her and teach us to see her. If one really loves nature, one can find beauty everywhere Picture Quote #1

If you end up falling in love with someone, it’s because of them. If you end up hating someone, it’s because of you Picture Quote #1

I am still far from being what I want to be, but with God’s help I shall succeed Picture Quote #1

Just dash something down if you see a blank canvas staring at you with a certain imbecility. You do not know how paralyzing it is, that staring of a blank canvas which says to the painter: you don’t know anything Picture Quote #1

One must never let the fire go out in one’s soul, but keep it burning Picture Quote #1

Close friends are truly life’s treasures. Sometimes they know us better than we know ourselves. With gentle honesty, they are there to guide and support us, to share our laughter and our tears. Their presence reminds us that we are never really alone Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I am always in the hope to express the love of two lovers by a marriage of two complementary colors - colors which marry each other... complement each other as a man and a woman do Picture Quote #1

And painted portraits have a life of their own that comes from deep in the soul of the painter and where the machine can’t go Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

But by fighting the difficulties in which one finds oneself, an inner strength develops from within our heart, which improves in life’s fight Picture Quote #1

Whoever loves much, performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well Picture Quote #1

Cobalt is a divine color and there is nothing as fine for putting an atmosphere round things. Carmine is the red of wine and is warm and lively like wine. The same goes for emerald green too. It’s false economy to dispense with them, with those colors. Cadmium as well Picture Quote #1

There is something intimate about painting I cannot explain to you ? but it is so delightful just for expressing one’s feelings Picture Quote #1

An artist needn’t be a clergyman or a churchwarden, but he certainly must have a warm heart for his fellow men Picture Quote #1

But for one’s health as you say, it is very necessary to work in the garden and see the flowers growing Picture Quote #1

We must not judge God from this world. It’s just a study that didn’t come off. It’s only a master who could make such a blunder Picture Quote #1

There is a sun, a light that for want of another word I can only call yellow, pale sulphur yellow, pale golden citron. How lovely yellow is! Picture Quote #1
