Andre Gide
A caterpillar who seeks to know himself would never become a butterfly

Andre Gide
Great authors are admirable in this respect: in every generation they make for disagreement. Through them we become aware of our differences.
Andre Gide
We no longer admit any other truth than that which is expedient for there is no worse error than the truth that may weaken the arm that is fighting.
Andre Gide

The color of truth is gray.
Andre Gide
