Famous Quotes and Comments by Vincent van Gogh

Love is eternal -- the aspect may change, but not the essence. There is the same difference in a person before and after he is in love as there is in an unlighted lamp and one that is burning. The lamp was there and was a good lamp, but now it is shedding light too, and that is its real function. And love makes one calmer about many things, and that way, one is more fit for one's work.
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.
Vincent van Gogh

It is better to be high spirited even though one makes more mistakes, than to be narrow minded and all too prudent.
Vincent van Gogh

Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.
Vincent van Gogh

One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul and yet no one ever comes to sit by it. Passers by see only a wisp of smoke from the chimney and continue on the way.
Vincent van Gogh
