More quotes by Andre Gide
Pay attention only to the form emotion will come spontaneously to inhabit it. A perfect dwelling always finds an inhabitant. The artist's business is to build the dwelling as for the inhabitant, it is up to the reader to provide him.
Andre Gide
Of some forty families I have been able to observe, I know hardly four in which the parents do not act in such a way that nothing would be more desirable for the child than to escape their influence.
Andre Gide
What another would have done as well as you, do not do it. What another would have said as well as you, do not say it what another would have written as well, do not write it. Be faithful to that which exists nowhere but in yourself - and thus make yourself indispensable.
Andre Gide
Often the best in us springs from the worst in us.
Andre Gide
There is no work of art that is without short cuts.
Andre Gide
The most important things to say are those which often I did not think necessary for me to say - because they were too obvious.
Andre Gide
It is not always by plugging away at a difficulty and sticking to it that one overcomes it often it is by working on the one next to it. Some things and some people have to be approached obliquely, at an angle.
Andre Gide
One should want only one thing and want it constantly. Then one is sure of getting it. But I desire everything, and consequently get nothing.
Andre Gide
A man thinks he owns things, and it is he who is owned
Andre Gide
The very act of sacrifice magnifies the one who sacrifices himself to the point where his sacrifice is much more costly to humanity than would have been the loss of those for whom he is sacrificing himself. But in his abnegation lies the secret of his grandeur.
Andre Gide
Obtain from yourself all that makes complaining useless. No longer implore from others what you yourself can obtain.
Andre Gide
Families, I hate you! Shut-in homes, closed doors, jealous possessors of happiness
Andre Gide
I do not love men: I love what devours them.
Andre Gide
Believe those who seek the truth, doubt those who find it doubt all, but do not doubt yourself.
Andre Gide
The only real education comes from what goes counter to you.
Andre Gide
It is not becoming to lay to virtue the weariness of old age.
Andre Gide
The world will be saved by one or two people.
Andre Gide
Man's responsibility increases as that of the gods decreases.
Andre Gide
Know that joy is rarer, more difficult, and more beautiful than sadness. Once you make this all-important discovery, you must embrace joy as a moral obligation.
Andre Gide
The scholar seeks truth, the artist finds.
