677 Quotes by Vincent Van Gogh

It is good to love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is well done.

Though I am often in the depths of misery, there is still calmness, pure harmony and music inside me. I see paintings or drawings in the poorest cottages, in the dirtiest corners. And my mind is driven towards these things with an irresistible momentum.

There is peace even in the storm

There is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.

To express the love of two lovers by the marriage of two complementary colours, their blending and their contrast, the mysterious vibrations of related tones. To express the thought of a brow by the radiance of a light tone against a dark background. To express hope by some star. Someone's passion by the radiance of the setting sun. That's certainly no realistic trompe l'oeil, but something that really exists, isn't it?

Art is to console those who are broken by life.

The heart of man is very much like the sea, it has its storms, it has its tides and in its depths it has its pearls too

One must work and dare if one really wants to live.

..it has always been so much my desire to paint for those who don’t know the artistic side of a painting.
