Andre Gide
Image
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
Image
We no longer admit any other truth than that which is expedient for there is no worse error than the truth that may weaken the arm that is fighting.
Andre Gide

One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.
Andre Gide
Image
Complete possession is proved only by giving. All you are unable to give possesses you.
Andre Gide
Image
An experience teaches only the good observer but far from seeking a lesson in it, everyone looks for an argument in experience, and everyone interprets the conclusion in his own way.
Andre Gide
Image
If only we could lean over the soul we love and see as in a mirror the image we cast!
