Andre Gide
Families, I hate you! Shut-in homes, closed doors, jealous possessors of happiness
Andre Gide

Andre Gide
Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better.
Andre Gide
It is good to follow one's own bent, so long as it leads upward.
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
