Often with good sentiments we produce bad literature.
Andre Gide

Andre Gide
Image
To read a writer is for me not merely to get an idea of what he says, but to go off with him and travel in his company.
Andre Gide
Image

Andre Gide
Image
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
Image
The greatest intelligence is precisely the one that suffers the most from its own limitations.
Andre Gide
Image
Nothing is so silly as the expression of a man who is being complimented.
