Quotes from Vincent Van Gogh

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

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

The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore.

Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.

There may be a great fire in our hearts, yet no one ever comes to warm himself at it, and the passers-by see only a wisp of smoke.

Conscience is a man's compass.

In spite of everything I shall rise again: I will take up my pencil, which I have forsaken in my great discouragement, and I will go on with my drawing.

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

I dream of painting and then I paint my dream.

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

14 Frank Lloyd Wright Quotes

There is nothing more uncommon than common sense.

Give me the luxuries of life and I will willingly do without the necessities.

Form follows function - that has been misunderstood. Form and function should be one, joined in a spiritual union.

The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization.
