Vincent Van Gogh Quotes

"For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars always makes me dream""What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything""If you hear a voice within you say you cannot paint, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced""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""If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere""The sadness will last forever""I am seeking, I am striving, I am in it with all my heart""I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people""It is with the reading of books the same as with looking at pictures; one must, without doubt, without hesitations, with assurance, admire what is beautiful.""I always think that the best way to know God is to love many things.""I don't know anything with certainty, but seeing the stars makes me dream.""One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul and yet no one ever came to sit by it. Passers-by see only a wisp of smoke from the chimney and continue on their way.""There is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.""I try more and more to be myself, caring relatively little whether people approve or disapprove.""I am still far from being what I want to be, but with God's help I shall succeed.""The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore.""Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.""I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day.""The more I think about it, the more I realize there is nothing more artistic than to love others""What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?"
