Our judgements about things vary according to the time left us to live -that we think is left us to live.
Andre Gide
Image
The loveliest creations of men are persistently painful. What would be the description of happiness? Nothing, except what prepares and then what destroys it.
Andre Gide
Image
The most decisive actions of life are most often unconsidered actions.
Andre Gide
Image
Man is more interesting than men. God made him and not them in his image. Each one is more precious than all.
Andre Gide
Image
The only real education comes from what goes counter to you.
Andre Gide
Image
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

Work and struggle and never accept an evil that you can change.
Andre Gide

Andre Gide
Image
There are many things that seem impossible only so long as one does not attempt them.
Andre Gide
Image
The difficulty comes from this, that Christianity (Christian orthodoxy) is exclusive and that belief in its truth excludes belief in any other truth. It does not absorb it repulses.
Andre Gide
Image
In order to judge properly, one must get away somewhat from what one is judging, after having loved it. This is true of countries, of persons, and of oneself.
Andre Gide
Image
Man's responsibility increases as that of the gods decreases.
Andre Gide
Image
Everything has been said before, but since nobody listens we have to keep going back and beginning all over again.
Andre Gide
Image
Do not scorn little victories.
Andre Gide
Image
Oh, would that my mind could let fall its dead ideas, as the tree does its withered leaves! And without too many regrets, if possible! Those from which the sap has withdrawn. But, good Lord, what beautiful colors!
Andre Gide
Image
I have never produced anything good except by a long succession of slight efforts.
Andre Gide
Image
To be sure, theory is useful. But without warmth of heart and without love it bruises the very ones it claims to save.
Andre Gide
Image
It is not becoming to lay to virtue the weariness of old age.
Andre Gide
Image
It is one of life's laws that as soon as one door closes another opens. But the tragedy is we look at the closed door and disregard the open one.
Andre Gide
Image
The true hypocrite is the one who ceases to perceive his deception, the one who lies with sincerity.
