More quotes by Andre Gide
To understand is nothing, but to be understood-that is the problem and the source of anguish. The soul throbs and would have the other know-but can not and feels isolated. Then come gestures, words, awkward explanations and material symbols for imponderable outbursts of feeling-and the soul despairs.
Andre Gide

Andre Gide
Though a revolution may call itself national, it always marks the victory of a single party.
Andre Gide
There is no feeling so simple that it is not immediately complicated and distorted by introspection.
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 Those from which the sap has withdrawn.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
True eloquence forgoes eloquence.
Andre Gide
The most decisive actions of life are most often unconsidered actions.
Andre Gide
It is essential to persuade the soldier that those he is being urged to massacre are bandits who do not deserve to live before killing other good, decent fellows like himself, his gun would fall from his hands.
