Quotes from Vincent Van Gogh

I consciously choose the dog's path through life. I shall be poor; I shall be a painter...

It is true that every day has its own evil, and its good too. But how difficult must life be, especially farther on when the evil of each day increases as far as worldly things go, if it is not strengthened and comforted by faith. And in Christ all worldly things may become better, and, as it were, sanctified. Theo, woe is me if I do not preach the Gospel; if I did not aim at that and possess faith and hope in Christ, it would be bad for me indeed, but no I have some courage.

Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.

Where friendship blooms, life is reborn.

I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people

Love is something eternal; the aspect may change, but not the essense.

The more I think about it, the more I realize there is nothing more artistic that to love others.

The best way to know God is to love many things.

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 done well.

Love is something eternal; the aspect may change, but not the essence

But I always think that the best way to know God is to love many things.
