More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
"Normality is a paved road: It’s comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it."
"Your profession is not what brings home your weekly paycheck, your profession is what you're put here on earth to do, with such passion and such intensity that it becomes spiritual in calling."
"Close friends are truly life's treasures. Sometimes they know us better than we know ourselves. With gentle honesty, they are there to guide and support us, to share our laughter and our tears. Their presence reminds us that we are never really alone."
"If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced."
"Art is to console those who are broken by life."
