More quotes by Andre Gide
The individual man tries to escape the race. And as soon as he ceases to represent the race, he represents man.
Andre Gide
An artist cannot get along without a public and when the public is absent, what does he do? He invents it, and turning his back on his age, he looks toward the future for what the present denies.
Andre Gide
I do not love men: I love what devours them.
Andre Gide
Do not think your truth can be found by anyone else.
Andre Gide
From the satisfaction of desire there may arise, accompanying joy and as it were sheltering behind it, something not unlike despair.
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
One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.
Andre Gide
The important thing is being capable of emotions, but to experience only one's own would be a sorry limitation.
Andre Gide
I can't expect others to share my virtues. It's good enough for me if they share my vices.
Andre Gide
Every perfect action is accompanied by pleasure. By that you can tell what you ought to do.
Andre Gide
When everything belongs to everyone, nobody will take care of anything.
Andre Gide
Atheism. There is not a single exalting and emancipating influence that does not in turn become inhibitory.
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 Those from which the sap has withdrawn.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
Only fools don't contradict themselves
Andre Gide
The very act of sacrifice magnifies the one who sacrifices himself to the point where his sacrifice is much more costly to humanity than would have been the loss of those for whom he is sacrificing himself. But in his abnegation lies the secret of his grandeur.
Andre Gide
Too chaste a youth leads to a dissolute old age.
Andre Gide
Not everyone can be an orphan.
Andre Gide
Our judgements about things vary according to the time left us to live -that we think is left us to live.
Andre Gide
It is often so: the harder it is to hear, the more a truth is worth saying.
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
