More quotes by Andre Gide
Then you think that one can keep a hopeless love in one's heart for so long as that?...And that life can breathe upon it every day, without extinguishing it?
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
Nothing blocks happiness like happiness remembered.
Andre Gide
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 Those from which the sap has withdrawn.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
An artist cannot get along without a public and when the public is absent, what does he do? He invents it, and turning his back on his age, he looks toward the future for what the present denies.
Andre Gide
Great authors are admirable in this respect: in every generation they make for disagreement. Through them we become aware of our differences.
Andre Gide
It is only in adventure that some people succeed in knowing themselves - in finding themselves.
Andre Gide
Every perfect action is accompanied by pleasure. By that you can tell what you ought to do.
Andre Gide
We should enjoy this summer, flower by flower, as if it were to be the last one we’ll see.
Andre Gide
In order to be utterly happy the only thing necessary is to refrain from comparing this moment with other moments in the past, which I often did not fully enjoy because I was comparing them with other moments of the future.
Andre Gide
Great minds tend toward banality. It is the noblest effort of individualism. But it implies a sort of modesty, which is so rare that it is scarcely found except in the greatest, or in beggars.
Andre Gide
Believe in your strength and your vision. Learn to repeat to yourself, 'It all depends on me'.
Andre Gide
Solitude is bearable only with God.
Andre Gide
How much more sensuality invites to art than does sentimentality.
Andre Gide
The important thing is being capable of emotions, but to experience only one's own would be a sorry limitation.
Andre Gide
Nothing prevents happiness like the memory of happiness.
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
The want of logic annoys. Too much logic bores. Life eludes logic, and everything that logic alone constructs remains artificial and forced.
Andre Gide
Through fear of resembling one another, through horror of having to submit, through uncertainty as well, through skepticism and complexity, there is a multitude of individual little beliefs for the triumph of strange little individuals.
Andre Gide
Understanding is the beginning of approving.
Andre Gide
