Vincent van Gogh - From the Dissatisfaction category:
I come back dissatisfied - I put it away, and when I have rested a little, I go and look at it with a kind of fear.

If the storm within gets too loud, I take a glass too much to stun myself. (Vincent van Gogh)

Do not quench your inspiration and your imagination; do not become the slave of your model. (Vincent van Gogh)
Vincent van Gogh - From the Impressionism category:
It isn't an easy job to paint oneself – at any rate if it is to be different from a photograph. And you see – this, in my opinion, is the advantage that impressionism possesses over all the other things; it is not banal, and one seeks after a deeper resemblance than the photograph. (Vincent van Gogh)
Vincent van Gogh - From the Improvisation category:
Do not quench your inspiration and your imagination; do not become the slave of your model. (Vincent van Gogh)
Vincent van Gogh - From the Insecurity category:

There is something intimate about painting I cannot explain to you – but it is so delightful just for expressing one's feelings. (Vincent van Gogh)
Vincent van Gogh - From the Life category:

Just because of Rubens I am looking for a blonde model. (Vincent van Gogh)

If one really loves nature, one can find beauty everywhere. (Vincent van Gogh)
Vincent van Gogh - From the Nature category:
I devour nature ceaselessly. I exaggerate, sometimes I make changes in the subject; but still I don't invent the whole picture. On the contrary, I find it already there. It's a question of picking out what one wants from nature. (Vincent van Gogh)
Vincent van Gogh - From the Observation category:
Art demands constant observation. (Vincent van Gogh)
Vincent van Gogh - From the Observation category:
If we study Japanese art, we see a man who is undoubtedly wise, philosophic and intelligent, who spends his time doing what?... He studies a single blade of grass. (Vincent van Gogh)

Vincent van Gogh - From the Planning category:
If you work diligently... without saying to yourself beforehand, 'I want to make this or that,' if you work as though you were making a pair of shoes, without artistic preoccupation, you will not always find you do well.

Poetry surrounds us everywhere, but putting it on paper is, alas, not so easy as looking at it. (Vincent van Gogh)

I want to paint men and women with that something of the external which the halo used to symbolize, and which we now seek to give by the actual radiance and vibrancy of our colorings. (Vincent van Gogh)

I myself believe that there is in every painter's life a period of making absurdities. In my case I think that period is already long past. (Vincent van Gogh)
Vincent van Gogh - From the Questions category:
How can I be useful, of what service can I be? There is something inside me, what can it be? (Vincent van Gogh)
Vincent van Gogh - From the Realism category:
Accurate drawing, accurate colour, is perhaps not the essential thing to aim at, because the reflection of reality in a mirror, if it could be caught, colour and all, would not be a picture at all, no more than a photograph. (Vincent van Gogh)
Vincent van Gogh - From the Realism category:
...a likeness different from the products of the God-fearing photographer. (Vincent van Gogh)
Vincent van Gogh - From the Reality category:
To express hope by some star, the eagerness of a soul by a sunset radiance. Certainly there is nothing in that of stereoscopic realism, but is it not something that actually exists? (Vincent van Gogh)
Vincent van Gogh - From the Religion category:
I have a terrible need of – dare I say the word? – religion. Then I go out at night to paint the stars... (Vincent van Gogh)
Vincent van Gogh - From the Religion category:
It always strikes me, and it is very peculiar, that, whenever we see the image of indescribable and unutterable desolation - of loneliness, poverty, and misery, the end and extreme of things - the thought of God comes into one's mind. (Vincent van Gogh)
Vincent van Gogh - From the Repose category:
I had a new idea in my head... this time it's just simply my bedroom, only here colour is to do everything, and, giving by its simplification a grander style to things, is to be suggestive here of rest or of sleep in general. In a word, to look at the picture ought to rest the brain or rather the imagination. (Vincent van Gogh)
Vincent van Gogh - From the Risk category:
One must work and dare if one really wants to live. (Vincent van Gogh)
Vincent van Gogh - From the Sadness category:

To save a life is a real and beautiful thing. To make a home for the homeless, yes, it is a thing that must be good; whatever the world may say, it cannot be wrong. (Vincent van Gogh)
Vincent van Gogh - From the Time category:
He studies a single blade of grass. But this blade of grass leads him to draw every plant and then the seasons, the wide aspects of the countryside, then animals, then the human figure. So he passes his life, and life is too short to do the whole. (Vincent van Gogh)
Vincent van Gogh - From the Tones category:
When using colors to recreate a general harmony of tones in nature, one loses it by painfully exact imitation. One keeps it by recreating in an equivalent color range, and that may not be exactly, or far from exactly, like the model. (Vincent van Gogh)

My great longing is to make those very incorrectnesses, those deviations, remodellings, changes in reality, so that they may become, yes, lies if you like – but truer than the literal truth. (Vincent van Gogh)

I have played hell somewhat with the truthfulness of the colours. (Vincent van Gogh)

Vincent van Gogh - From the Wonder category:
I never get tired of the blue sky. (Vincent van Gogh)

There are so many people, especially among our comrades, who imagine that words are nothing – on the contrary, isn't it true that saying a thing well is as interesting and as difficult as painting it? (Vincent van Gogh)

The emotions are sometimes so strong that I work without knowing it. The strokes come like speech. (Vincent van Gogh)

Norman Vincent Peale - From the Activity category:

Imagination is the true magic carpet. (Norman Vincent Peale)
Norman Vincent Peale - From the Importance category:
