Vincent Van Gogh Quotes, Famous Vincent Van Gogh Quotes
And
my aim in my life is to make pictures and drawings, as many
and as well as I can; then, at the end of my life, I hope to
pass away, looking back with love and tender regret, and thinking,
'Oh, the pictures I might have made.' Vincent Van Gogh
As
we advance in life, it becomes more and more difficult, but
in fighting the difficulties, the inmost strength of the heart
is developed. Vincent Van Gogh
Conscience
is a man's compass. Vincent Van Gogh
Do
not quench your inspiration and your imagination; do not become
the slave of your model. Vincent Van Gogh
Feeling
and love for nature sooner or later find a response from people
who are interested in art. It is the painter's duty to be entirely
absorbed by nature and to use all his intelligence to express
sentiment in his work, so that it becomes intelligible to other
people. To work for the market is, in my opinion, not exactly
the right way, but on the contrary involves deceiving the amateurs.
And true painters have not done so. Rather, the sympathy they
received sooner or later came because of their sincerity. This
is all I know about it, and I do not think I need know more. Vincent Van Gogh
Great
things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things
brought together. Vincent Van Gogh
Happiness:
it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative
effort. Vincent Van Gogh
I
can very well do without God both in my life and in my painting,
but I cannot, suffering as I am, do without something which
is greater than I, which is my life - the power to create. Vincent Van Gogh
I
cannot help it that my pictures do not sell. Nevertheless the
time will come when people will see that they are worth more
than the price of the paint. Vincent Van Gogh
I
dream my painting, and then I paint my dream. Vincent Van Gogh
