More quotes by Andre Gide

Andre Gide
The less intelligent the white man is, the more stupid he thinks the black.
Andre Gide
I advise the young to tell themselves constantly that most often it is up to them alone.
Andre Gide
Our judgements about things vary according to the time left us to live -that we think is left us to live.
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
Most quarrels amplify a misunderstanding.
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
Understand that the only possession of any value is life.
Andre Gide
From the satisfaction of desire there may arise, accompanying joy and as it were sheltering behind it, something not unlike despair.
Andre Gide
Seize from every moment its unique novelty, and do not prepare your joys.
Andre Gide
It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for something you are not.
Andre Gide
Most often people seek in life occasions for persisting in their opinions rather than for educating themselves.
Andre Gide
