Andre Gide
We call happiness a certain set of circumstances that makes joy possible. But we call joy that state of mind and emotions that needs nothing to feel happy.
Andre Gide
Envying another man's happiness is madness you wouldn't know what to do with it if you had it.
Andre Gide
Man is more interesting than men. God made him and not them in his image. Each one is more precious than all.
Andre Gide
What would there be in a story of happiness? Only what prepares it, only what destroys it can be told.
Andre Gide
