More quotes by Andre Gide
The scholar seeks truth, the artist finds.
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
Complete possession is proved only by giving. All you are unable to give possesses you.
Andre Gide
The wise man is he who constantly wonders afresh.
Andre Gide
True eloquence forgoes eloquence.
Andre Gide
To understand is nothing, but to be understood-that is the problem and the source of anguish. The soul throbs and would have the other know-but can not and feels isolated. Then come gestures, words, awkward explanations and material symbols for imponderable outbursts of feeling-and the soul despairs.
Andre Gide
Welcome anything that comes to you, but do not long for anything else.
Andre Gide
Everything has been said before, but since nobody listens we have to keep going back and beginning all over again.
Andre Gide
The most beautiful things are those that madness prompts and reason writes.
Andre Gide
Every perfect action is accompanied by pleasure. By that you can tell what you ought to do.
Andre Gide
It is essential to persuade the soldier that those he is being urged to massacre are bandits who do not deserve to live before killing other good, decent fellows like himself, his gun would fall from his hands.
Andre Gide
A man thinks he owns things, and it is he who is owned
Andre Gide
God lies ahead. I convince myself and constantly repeat to myself that: He depends on us. It is through us that God is achieved.
Andre Gide
The only real education comes from what goes counter to you.
Andre Gide
We call happiness a certain set of circumstances that makes joy possible. But we call joy that state of mind and emotions that needs nothing to feel happy.
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
Obsessions of the Orient, of the desert, of its ardor and its emptiness, of the shadows of palm gardens, of the garments white and wide - obsessions where the senses go berserk, where nerves are exasperated, and which made me, at the onset of each night, believe sleep impossible.
Andre Gide
One doesn't discover new lands without consenting to lose sight, for a very long time, of the shore.
Andre Gide
Fish die belly upward, and rise to the surface. Its their way of falling.
Andre Gide
With each book you write you should lose the admirers you gained with the previous one.
Andre Gide
