Vincent Van Gogh

If one is master of one thing and understands one thing well, one has at the same time, insight into and understanding of many things.

If boyhood and youth are but vanity, must it not be our ambition to become men?

How can I be useful, of what service can I be? There is something inside me, what can it be?

There is no blue without yellow and without orange.

I am still far from being what I want to be, but with God's help I shall succeed.

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.

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

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

I put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process.

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

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.

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