By the time a philospher answers a question weve usually forgotten what was asked.
Andre Gide
It is with fine sentiments that bad literature is made. Descend to the bottom of the well if you wish to see the stars.
Andre Gide
The truth is, I hoped the cure would dislike me. I tried to think of disagreeable things to say to him -- I could hit on nothing that wasn't charming. It's wonderful how hard I find it not to be fascinating.
Andre Gide
The less intelligent the white man is, the more stupid he thinks the black.
Andre Gide
They establish distinctions and reserves which I cannot apply to myself, for I exist only as a whole my only claim is to be natural, and the pleasure I feel in an action, I take as a sign that I ought to do it.
Andre Gide
Sadness is almost never anything but a form of fatigue.
Andre Gide
What would there be in a story of happiness? Only what prepares it, only what destroys it can be told.
Andre Gide
Be faithful to that which exists nowhere but in yourself- and thus make yourself indispensable.
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
One is always wrong to open a conversation with the devil, for, however he goes about it, he always insists upon having the last word.
Andre Gide
The nationalist has a broad hatred and a narrow love.
Andre Gide
When I cease to be indignant I will have begun my old age.
Andre Gide
Nothing is more fatal to happiness than the remembrance of happiness.
Andre Gide
A straight path never leads anywhere except to the objective.
Andre Gide
Most often people seek in life occasions for persisting in their opinions rather than for educating themselves.
Andre Gide
No theory is good unless it permits, not rest, but the greatest work. No theory is good except on condition that one use it to go on beyond.
Andre Gide
Man's responsibility increases as that of the gods decreases.
Andre Gide
Generally among intelligent people are found nothing but paralytics and among men of action nothing but fools.
Andre Gide
The most decisive actions of our life - I mean those that are most likely to decide the whole course of our future - are, more often than not, unconsidered.
Andre Gide
The most beautiful things are those that madness prompts and reason writes.
Andre Gide
