Vincent Van Gogh Quotes About Christ

Quotes about: Christ

• Christ is more of an artist than the artists; he works in the living spirit and the living flesh, he makes men instead of statues.

  Vincent Van Gogh

  Artist, Men, Flesh

  Vincent van Gogh (1958). “Complete letters: with reproductions of all the drawings in the correspondence”

• Christ alone, of all the philosophers, magicians, etc., has affirmed eternal life as the most important certainty, the infinity of time, the futility of death, the necessity and purpose of serenity and devotion. He lived serenely, as an artist greater than all other artists, scorning marble and clay and paint, working in the living flesh. In other words, this peerless artist, scarcely conceivable with the blunt instrument of our modern, nervous and obtuse brains, made neither statues nor paintings nor books. He maintained in no uncertain terms that he made ... living men, immortals.

  Book, Artist, Men

• It is true that every day has its own evil, and its good too. But how difficult must life be, especially farther on when the evil of each day increases as far as worldly things go, if it is not strengthened and comforted by faith. And in Christ all worldly things may become better, and, as it were, sanctified. Theo, woe is me if I do not preach the Gospel; if I did not aim at that and possess faith and hope in Christ, it would be bad for me indeed, but no I have some courage.

  Vincent Van Gogh

  Woe Is Me, Evil, Would Be
