Andre Gide
Welcome anything that comes to you, but do not long for anything else.
Andre Gide
Atheism. There is not a single exalting and emancipating influence that does not in turn become inhibitory.
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

Andre Gide

Andre Gide

Andre Gide
With each book you write you should lose the admirers you gained with the previous one.
Andre Gide
Profound optimism is always on the side of the tortured.
Andre Gide
True eloquence forgoes eloquence.
Andre Gide
It is with fine sentiments that bad literature is made. Descend to the bottom of the well if you wish to see the stars.
Andre Gide
The greatest intelligence is precisely the one that suffers the most from its own limitations.
Andre Gide
