More quotes by Andre Gide
There are very few monsters who warrant the fear we have of them.
Andre Gide
What seems different in yourself that's the rare thing you possess. The one thing that gives each of us his worth, and that's just what we try to suppress. And we claim to love life.
Andre Gide
He who makes great demands upon himself is naturally inclined to make great demands on others.
Andre Gide
In other people's company I felt I was dull, gloomy, unwelcome, at once bored and boring.
Andre Gide
When intelligent people pride themselves on not understanding, it is quite natural they should succeed better than fools.
Andre Gide
Oh, would that my mind could let fall its dead ideas, as the tree does its withered leaves!
Andre Gide
There are admirable potentialities in every human being.
Andre Gide
There is no work of art that is without short cuts.
Andre Gide
Be faithful to that which exists within yourself.
Andre Gide
The pettiness of a mind can be measured by the pettiness of its adoration or its blasphemy.
Andre Gide
The young people who come to me in the hope of hearing me utter a few memorable maxims are quite disappointed. Aphorisms are not my forte, I say nothing but banalities.... I listen to them and they go away delighted.
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
Believe in your strength and your vision. Learn to repeat to yourself, 'It all depends on me'.
Andre Gide
To love the truth is to refuse to let oneself be saddened by it.
Andre Gide
The anxiety we have for the figure we cut, for our personage, is constantly cropping out. We are showing off and are often more concerned with making a display than with living. Whoever feels observed observes himself.
Andre Gide
The work of art is the exaggeration of an idea.
Andre Gide
We should enjoy this summer, flower by flower, as if it were to be the last one we’ll see.
Andre Gide
If the flower were not attached to its stem, it would flee at the approach of man, like the insect or the bird for the attribute of man on the earth, at least as long as he does not better understand his role, is to worry and frighten what he is not interested in taming for utilitarian purposes. Man is skillful in mistreating everything he can use
Andre Gide
Never have I been able to settle in life. Always seated askew, as if on the arm of a chair ready to get up, to leave.
Andre Gide
A caterpillar who seeks to know himself would never become a butterfly
