记得大一被学校要求去美术馆的时候，看着玲琅满目的艺术作品，脑子里除了困惑，就是困惑。
因为一个艺术品不像一部电影，一本书，本身自带前因后果，自己就会给观众引申思想内核。
一幅画，它就是一幅画，像一张照片，只记录了一个瞬间，真实或虚幻。而一个瞬间究竟包含着什么，究竟在讲什么，其实在不了解作者的情况下，一个过路人很难体会到。
当然体会不到本意，也可以感受 - 所以一般对不熟悉的艺术家作品，在没有讲解的情况下，我只会去感受。
但梵高不一样。从小就对梵高有着不一样的感觉，于是读了他的故事，看遍他的作品。
《人性的枷锁》中说，一个艺术家，做的其实就是把自己看世界的方式展现出来。如果被观者接受了，就会被称为大师，如果没被接受，就会被忽略 - 而接受与否，与艺术家无关，也不是艺术家创作的原因。而艺术家创作的原因很简单 - 因为他不得不去创作。
梵高生时被忽略了，死后却被奉上神坛，但你我都知道，这并非他创作的理由。
不想多说，只想在此记录梵高生前的语录，很多话曾伴我度过漫长黑夜，希望也能在你失落时给予你希望 -
1.“ Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well。”
要博爱，因为在爱中有着真正的力量。博爱的人会做很多，会实现很多，而任何因爱而做的事都会做好
2. “I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day.”
我总认为夜晚比白日更加生动鲜艳。
3. “I put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process.
我将我的心和我的灵魂付诸于我的作品，却在过程中失去了我的理智
4. “There may be a great fire in our soul, yet no one ever comes to warm himself at it, and the passers-by see only a wisp of smoke”
在我们的灵魂中也许有着一团热烈的火焰，但却没有人依它取暖。过路人也只看到了一缕青烟。
5. “Even the knowledge of my own fallibility cannot keep me from making mistakes. Only when I fall do I get up again”
即便是我对自身容易犯错的自知也无法阻止我继续犯错。但也只有在我摔倒的时候才能重新爬起。
6. “The way to know life is to love many things.”
认知生命的方式就是去博爱。
7. “What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?”
如果我们连尝试的勇气都没有，那生命还能算什么？
8. “Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.”
伟大的事不是靠一时冲动做成的，而是一连串小事联合起来做成的。
9. “For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.”
就我自身而言，我对一切的认知都是无法确定的，但看到星空，我定会做梦（幻想）。
10. “I wish they would only take me as I am.”
我希望他们能认识真正的我
11. “By working hard, old man, I hope to make something good one day. I haven’t yet, but I am pursuing it and fighting for it . . . .”
我努力画画，是为了有一天能够画出一幅优秀的作品。我还没有，但我一直在追求它并为之奋斗。
12. “The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore”
渔民们知道海洋的危险、风暴的恶劣，但他们从不认为这些危险是留在岸上的足够原因。
13. “Conscience is a man’s compass”
良知是一个人的指南针
14. “I dream of painting and then I paint my dream.”
我梦到我在画画，然后我会画我做的梦。
15. “Painting is a faith, and it imposes the duty to disregard public opinion.”
画画是信仰 - 它意味着忽略他人意见的责任
16. “One must work and dare if one really wants to live.”
一个人若真想生活，他就必须工作和敢于挑战。
17. “There is no blue without yellow and without orange.”
没有黄和橘黄，便没有蓝。
18. “I experience a period of frightening clarity in those moments when nature is so beautiful. I am no longer sure of myself, and the paintings appear as in a dream” –
当自然很美的时候，我会经历一段令人惊恐的清醒。我连自己都无法确认，而我的画也好似梦境一般。
19. “It is better to be high-spirited even though one makes more mistakes, than to be narrow-minded and all too prudent.”
兴高采烈却错误百出也好过思想狭窄但小心谨慎。
20. “As we advance in life it becomes more and more difficult, but in fighting the difficulties the inmost strength of the heart is developed.”
当我们在生命中不断向前迈进时，生命会变得越来越困难，但在与困难斗争的过程中，内心的强大的部分却形成了。
21. “It is only too true that a lot of artists are mentally ill- it’s a life which, to put it mildly, makes one an outsider. I’m all right when I completely immerse myself in work, but I’ll always remain half crazy.”
很多艺术家都有精神疾病这一点是事实 - 因为，浅显的讲，这意味着以一个局外人来生活。当我全身心投入绘画中时，我很好，但我却总会保持着一半的疯狂。
22. “One may have a blazing hearth in one’s soul and yet no one ever came to sit by it. Passers-by see only a wisp of smoke from the chimney and continue on their way.”
一个人也许在内心有着滚烫的火焰却依然没有人会在其旁边坐下。过路人只看到一缕从烟囱冒出的青烟，然后继续前行。 （类似于4）
23. “The more I think about it,the more I realize there is nothing more artistic than to love others”
我越想越觉得，没有什么比爱人更艺术的了。
24. “I see drawings and pictures in the poorest of huts and the dirtiest of corners.”
我在最贫穷的小屋和最肮脏的角落看到画卷。
25. “If one is master of one thing and understands one thing well, one has at the same time, insight into and understanding of many things.”
如果一个人掌握了一件事，并非常了解这件事，那么与此同时，他也知晓很多事。
（触类旁通，只是这里没有说类别）
26. “I am not an adventurer by choice but by fate.”
我是被命运安排的冒险者，而不是自己的选择。
27. “I consciously choose the dog’s path through life. I shall be poor; I shall be a painter…”
我有意过着如狗一样的生活。我要贫穷，我要成为一名画家。
28. “Drawing is the root of everything, and the time spent on that is actually all profit.”
绘画是一切的根，而绘画的时间全部都是成果。
29. “It always strikes me, and it is very peculiar, that when we see the image of indescribable and unutterable desolation – of loneliness, of poverty and misery, the end of all things, or their extreme – then rises in our mind the thought of God.”
我总感觉的很惊讶，也总觉得很奇特 - 当我们看到无法形容的凄凉时，无论是孤独、贫穷、苦难、死亡或是别的极端情境，我们心中总会立刻想到上帝。
30. In spite of everything I'll rise again: I will take up my pencil which I have forsaken in my great discouragement, and I will go on with my drawing
无论如何我都会重新站起来：我依然会拿起我在灰心失望时所放弃的铅笔，然后继续作画。
PS: 很多国内的梵高语录似乎都是假的，毕竟我们学英语热潮容易到处拼凑语录。所以这些都是在外网找到的，还有一些我自己收集的，也是自行翻译。如果有语病或英文语法，还望见谅。
谢谢🙏
