Sin is whatever obscures the soul.
Andre Gide
Understand that the only possession of any value is life.
Andre Gide
Do not do what someone else could do as well as you. Do not say, do not write what someone else could say, could write as well as you. Care for nothing in yourself but what you feel exists nowhere else. And, out of yourself create, impatiently or patiently, the most irreplaceable of beings.
Andre Gide
The most decisive actions of life are most often unconsidered actions.

The less intelligent the white man is, the more stupid he thinks the black.
Andre Gide

Andre Gide
When you have nothing to say, or to hide, there is no need to be prudent.
Andre Gide
Let every emotion be capable becoming an intoxication to you. If what you eat fails to make you drunk, it is because you are not hungry enough.
Andre Gide
To win ones joy through struggle is better than to yield to melancholy.
Andre Gide
I have never produced anything good except by a long succession of slight efforts.
Andre Gide
The abominable effort to take one’s sins with one to paradise.
Andre Gide
Nothing prevents happiness like the memory of happiness.
