Vincent Van Gogh

But on the road that I’m on I must continue; if I do nothing, if I don’t study, if I don’t keep on trying, then I’m lost, then woe betide me. That’s how I see this, to keep on, keep on, that’s what’s needed.

Vincent Van Gogh

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

But you people do not understand me, and I am afraid you never will.

Vincent Van Gogh

Christ is more of an artist than the artists; he works in the living spirit and the living flesh, he makes men instead of statues.

Vincent Van Gogh

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.

Vincent Van Gogh

Color in a picture is like enthusiasm in life.

Vincent Van Gogh

Do go on doing a lot of walking and keep up your love of nature, for that is the right way to understand art better and better. Painters understand nature and love her and teach us to see. And there are painters who never do anything that is no good…

Vincent Van Gogh

Drawing is the root of everything, and the time spent on that is actually all profit.

Vincent Van Gogh

Every man must bear his own burden.

Vincent Van Gogh

Find things beautiful as much as you can, most people find too little beautiful.
