Andre Gide
It is not becoming to lay to virtue the weariness of old age.
Andre Gide
Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better.
Andre Gide
Without mysticism man can achieve nothing great.
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
Fear of ridicule begets the worst cowardice.
Andre Gide
