Vincent van Gogh

"The emotions that swell up in us make life what it is."

"Real progress happens when we stop talking and start creating."

"I find patience infinite in the watching of details."

"What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?"

"The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of."

"Each of us has a fire in our heart for something."

"I dream of painting and then I paint my dream."

"One must live like a flower, turning toward the light."

"In a world that seems constantly bent on dividing us, art unites."

"There is peace in accepting what you cannot change."

"The painter from the depths of his journey creates beauty."

"Why do I exist? To give beauty to the world."

"Small deeds done are better than great deeds planned."

"Seek only the real, ignore the false."

"The most important thing is to love and be loved in return."

"When the subject is strong, simplicity is the only way to treat it."

"A painted life speaks louder than words."

"I battle with colors to express myself."

"One's greatest responsibility is to oneself."

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."

"Every waking moment is an opportunity to create."

"Time is the fire in which we burn."

"To live is to feel the universe breathe through you."

"Your task is not to seek for love, but to seek within yourself for all the barriers you have built against it."

"In every conceivable manner, the family is link to our past, bridge to our future."

"I am trying with all my power to master the craft so I can give form to what I feel."

"Be the change, as subtle as a shift in light."

"What is important seems to be not so much to create, but to give of yourself."

"Colors are the keyboard, the eyes are harmonies, the soul is the piano with many strings."

"Every individual has a unique pattern of gifts and challenges."
