Favourite Vincent van Gogh quotes (part 3)
-
“There is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.”
- “Normality is a paved road: It’s comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it.”
-
“La tristesse durera toujours. [The sadness will last forever.]”
-
“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.”
-
“If you don’t have a dog–at least one–there is not necessarily anything wrong with you, but there may be something wrong with your life.”
- “We spent our whole lives in unconscious exercise of the art of expressing our thoughts with the help of words.”
-
“In my view, I am often immensely rich, not in money, but (although just now perhaps not all the time) rich because I have found my metier, something I can devote myself to heart and soul and that gives inspiration and meaning to my life.”
-
“Do not quench your inspiration and your imagination; do not become the slave of your model.”
-
“There was a sentence in your letter that struck me, “I wish I were far away from everything, I am the cause of all, and bring only sorrow to everybody, I alone have brought all this misery on myself and others.” These words struck me because that same feeling, just the same, not more nor less, is also on my conscience.”
- “What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?”
