Vincent Van Gogh Quotes

"The beginning is perhaps more difficult than anything else, but keep heart, it will turn out all right.""I would rather die of passion than of boredom.""It is looking at things for a long time that ripens you and gives you a deeper meaning.""If you hear a voice within you say "you cannot paint," then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.""I am always doing what I cannot do yet, in order to learn how to do it.""Exaggerate the essential, leave the obvious vague.""I am seeking, I am striving, I am in it with all my heart.""I put my heart & soul into my work, & have lost my mind in the process.""I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people""The sadness will last forever""In spite of everything I shall rise again I will take up my pencil, which I have forsaken in my great discouragement, and I will go on with my drawing""For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars always makes me dream""Conscience is a man’s compass""The more I think it over, the more I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people""I often think that the best way to know God is to love many things""I risk my life for my work and my reason has half-foundered in it""There is peace even in the storm""The way to know life is to love many things""I want to touch people with my art. I want them to say 'he feels deeply, he feels tenderly'""Even the knowledge of my own fallibility cannot keep me from making mistakes. Only when I fall do I get up again"
