More quotes by Andre Gide
I wished for nothing beyond her smile, and to walk with her thus, hand in hand, along a sun warmed, flower bordered path.
Andre Gide
Envying another man's happiness is madness you wouldn't know what to do with it if you had it.
Andre Gide
There is no feeling so simple that it is not immediately complicated and distorted by introspection.
Andre Gide
There's a law in life: whenever a door closes, a new one will open.
Andre Gide
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

Andre Gide
Understanding is the beginning of approving.
Andre Gide
The pettiness of a mind can be measured by the pettiness of its adoration or its blasphemy.
Andre Gide
Mozart's joy is made of serenity, and a phrase of his music is like a calm thought his simplicity is merely purity. It is a crystalline thing in which all the emotions play a role, but as if already celestially transposed. Moderation consists in feeling emotions as the angels do.
Andre Gide
Don't think that your truth could be found by someone else.
Andre Gide
Know that joy is rarer, more difficult, and more beautiful than sadness. Once you make this all-important discovery, you must embrace joy as a moral obligation.
Andre Gide
Nothing blocks happiness like happiness remembered.
Andre Gide
The individual person is more interesting than people in general he and not they is the one whom God created in His image.
Andre Gide
Every perfect action is accompanied by pleasure. By that you can tell what you ought to do.
Andre Gide
He who makes great demands upon himself is naturally inclined to make great demands on others.
Andre Gide
Oh, would that my mind could let fall its dead ideas, as the tree does its withered leaves!
Andre Gide
Do not think your truth can be found by anyone else.
Andre Gide
Woe to these people who have no appetite for the very dish that their age serves up.
Andre Gide
Be faithful to that which exists nowhere but in yourself- and thus make yourself indispensable.
Andre Gide
The most decisive actions of our life - I mean those that are most likely to decide the whole course of our future - are, more often than not, unconsidered.
Andre Gide
