Andre Gide
One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.
Andre Gide
Too chaste a youth leads to a dissolute old age.
Andre Gide
It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for something you are not.
Andre Gide
A man thinks he owns things, and it is he who is owned
