More quotes by Andre Gide
It is with noble sentiments that bad literature gets written.
Andre Gide
It is essential to persuade the soldier that those he is being urged to massacre are bandits who do not deserve to live before killing other good, decent fellows like himself, his gun would fall from his hands.
Andre Gide
The bad novelist constructs his characters he directs them and makes them speak. The true novelist listens to them and watches them act he hears their voices even before he knows them.
Andre Gide
I prefer granting with a good grace what I know I shan't be able to prevent.
Andre Gide

Andre Gide
It is often so: the harder it is to hear, the more a truth is worth saying.
Andre Gide

Andre Gide

Andre Gide

Andre Gide
Too chaste an adolescence makes for a dissolute old age. It is doubtless easier to give up something one has known than something one imagines.
Andre Gide
Long only for what you have.
Andre Gide
Oh, would that my mind could let fall its dead ideas, as the tree does its withered leaves! And without too many regrets, if possible! Those from which the sap has withdrawn. But, good Lord, what beautiful colors!
Andre Gide
Let the dead bury the dead. There is not a single word of Christ to which the Christian religion has paid less attention.
Andre Gide
The public always prefers to be reassured. There are those whose job this is. There are only too many.
Andre Gide
There is no prejudice that the work of art does not finally overcome.
Andre Gide
True kindness presupposes the faculty of imagining as one's own the suffering and joys of others.
Andre Gide
From the satisfaction of desire there may arise, accompanying joy and as it were sheltering behind it, something not unlike despair.
Andre Gide
It is now, and in this world, that we must live.
Andre Gide
The world will be saved by one or two people.
Andre Gide
