Van Gogh Quotes

Always been a fan of Van Gogh, seen his museum in Amsterdams more times than I can remember. Even visited his house in France. Yet I am so familiar with his art, but not his words. It really gives more insight to his thoughts and ideas besides his works.

“If I haven’t written for a long time, it’s because, having to struggle against my illness and to calm my head, I hardly felt like having discussions, and found danger in these abstractions”

“Art is long and life is short, and we must wait patiently while trying to sell our skin dearly.”

“You have to eat well, be well housed, have a screw from time to time, smoke your pipe and drink your coffee in peace.”
