More quotes by Andre Gide
We live counterfeit lives in order to resemble the idea we first had of ourselves.
Andre Gide
But can one still make resolutions when one is over forty? I live according to twenty-year-old habits.
Andre Gide
Oh, would that my mind could let fall its dead ideas, as the tree does its withered leaves! And without too many regrets, if possible! Those from which the sap has withdrawn. But, good Lord, what beautiful colors!
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

Andre Gide
Be faithful to that which exists within yourself.
Andre Gide
Life never presents us with anything which may not be looked upon as a fresh starting point, no less than as a termination.
Andre Gide
Envying another man's happiness is madness you wouldn't know what to do with it if you had it.
Andre Gide
True eloquence forgoes eloquence.
Andre Gide
Man's first and greatest victory must be won against the gods.
Andre Gide
Then you think that one can keep a hopeless love in one's heart for so long as that?...And that life can breathe upon it every day, without extinguishing it?
Andre Gide
With each book you write you should lose the admirers you gained with the previous one.
Andre Gide
