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

Andre Gide

Andre Gide
Art begins with resistance - at the point where resistance is overcome. No human masterpiece has ever been created without great labor.
Andre Gide

Andre Gide
Prejudices are the props of civilization.
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
