More quotes by Andre Gide
Do not think your truth can be found by anyone else.
Andre Gide
There's a law in life: whenever a door closes, a new one will open.
Andre Gide
What thwarts us and demands of us the greatest effort is also what can teach us most.
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
Our deeds attach themselves to us like the flame to phosphorus. They constitute our brilliance, to be sure, but only in so far as they consume us.
Andre Gide
'Therefore' is a word the poet must not know.
Andre Gide
I owe much to my friends but, all things considered, it strikes me that I owe even more to my enemies. The real person springs life under a sting even better than under a caress.
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
The abominable effort to take one’s sins with one to paradise.
Andre Gide
At times is it seems that I am living my life backward, and that at the approach of old age my real youth will begin. My soul was born covered with wrinkles. Wrinkles my ancestors and parents most assiduously put there and that I had the greatest trouble removing.
Andre Gide
Enduring fame is promised only to those writers who can offer to successive generations a substance constantly renewed for every generation arrives upon the scene with its own particular hunger.
Andre Gide
It is the special quality of love not to be able to remain stationary, to be obliged to increase under pain of diminishing.
Andre Gide
True eloquence forgoes eloquence.
Andre Gide
The most subtle art, the strongest and deepest art - supreme art - is the one that does not at first allow itself to be recognized.
Andre Gide
A work of art is an exaggeration.
Andre Gide
Families, I hate you! Shut-in homes, closed doors, jealous possessors of happiness
Andre Gide
Money cannot buy happiness, but it can make you awfully comfortable while you're being miserable. Nothing prevents happiness like the memory of happiness.
Andre Gide
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
Prejudices are the props of civilization.
Andre Gide
Man: The most complex of beings, and thus the most dependent of beings. On all that made you up, you depend.
Andre Gide
