Quotes

Vincent Van Gogh : Without painting, I can't live.

Vincent Van Gogh : I'd like to share my vision with people who can't see what I see the way I see.
Doctor Felix Ray : Yes, but why?
Vincent Van Gogh : Because my vision is closer to the reality of the world. I can make people feel what it's like to be alive.
Doctor Felix Ray : Do you feel like they don't feel alive?
Vincent Van Gogh : Yes, I do.
Doctor Felix Ray : And you think you can make them feel that through painting?
Vincent Van Gogh : Yes. Yes, absolutely.
-
Vincent Van Gogh : I believe I have a menacing spirit around me. An invisible being. I feel it, I don't see it. He speaks to me and threatens me. And all he wants to do is plunge a knife into my heart. I saw him and I tried to cut him out of myself.
Doctor Felix Ray : So that's the reason why you cut off your ear. Your vision of the world, as you say, is quite frightening, isn't it?
Vincent Van Gogh : Yes. I'm terrified he'll come back.
