Vincent van Gogh Quotes:
1. It is good to love many things, for therein lies true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is well done.
2. I am seeking. I am striving. I am in it with all my heart.
3. If you hear a voice within you say, ‘You cannot paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.
4. I feel such a creative force in me: I am convinced that there will be a time when, let us say, I will make something good every day, on a regular basis.
5 There is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.
