Vincent Van Gogh Quotes

"I put my heart & soul into my work, & have lost my mind in the process.""The beginning is perhaps more difficult than anything else, but keep heart, it will turn out all right.""I am seeking, I am striving, I am in it with all my heart.""It is looking at things for a long time that ripens you and gives you a deeper meaning.""I would rather die of passion than of boredom.""Exaggerate the essential, leave the obvious vague.""I am always doing what I cannot do yet, in order to learn how to do it.""If you hear a voice within you say "you cannot paint," then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.""If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere""Conscience is a man’s compass""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""The sadness will last forever""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""Normality is a paved road: It's comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow""What is done in love is done well""I dream my painting and I paint my dream"
