More quotes by Andre Gide
The most beaten paths are certainly the surest, but do not hope to start much game on them.
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 wise man is he who constantly wonders afresh.
Andre Gide
Art begins with resistance - at the point where resistance is overcome. No human masterpiece has ever been created without great labor.
Andre Gide
Humanity cherishes its swaddling clothes but it shall not grow up unless it can free itself from them. Turning down his mother's breast does not make the weaned child ungrateful. ... Rise up naked, valiant make the sheaths crack push aside the stakes to grow straight you need no more than the thrust of your sap and the call of the sun.
Andre Gide
To what a degree the same past can leave different marks - and especially admit of different interpretations.

Andre Gide
Do not do what someone else could do as well as you. Do not say, do not write what someone else could say, could write as well as you. Care for nothing in yourself but what you feel exists nowhere else. And, out of yourself create, impatiently or patiently, the most irreplaceable of beings.
Andre Gide
Every instant of our lives is essentially irreplaceable: you must know this in order to concentrate on life.
Andre Gide
Without mysticism man can achieve nothing great.
Andre Gide
Do not scorn little victories.
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
There are very few monsters who warrant the fear we have of them.
Andre Gide
At times is it seems that I am living my life backward, and that at the approach of old age my real youth will begin. My soul was born covered with wrinkles. Wrinkles my ancestors and parents most assiduously put there and that I had the greatest trouble removing.
Andre Gide
Only fools don't contradict themselves
