More quotes by 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

Andre Gide
The pettiness of a mind can be measured by the pettiness of its adoration or its blasphemy.
Andre Gide
Old hands soil, it seems, whatever they caress, but they too have their beauty when they are joined in prayer. Young hands were made for caresses and the sheathing of love. It is a pity to make them join too soon.
Andre Gide
The public always prefers to be reassured. There are those whose job this is. There are only too many.
Andre Gide
Each of us really understands in others only those feelings he is capable of producing himself.
Andre Gide
Let the dead bury the dead. There is not a single word of Christ to which the Christian religion has paid less attention.
Andre Gide
If a young writer can refrain from writing, he shouldn’t hesitate to do so.
Andre Gide
The nationalist has a broad hatred and a narrow love.
