More quotes by Andre Gide
It is only in adventure that some people succeed in knowing themselves - in finding themselves.
Andre Gide
Mozart's joy is made of serenity, and a phrase of his music is like a calm thought his simplicity is merely purity. It is a crystalline thing in which all the emotions play a role, but as if already celestially transposed. Moderation consists in feeling emotions as the angels do.
Andre Gide
He who makes great demands upon himself is naturally inclined to make great demands on others.
Andre Gide
It is only through restraint that man can manage not to suppress himself.
Andre Gide
To be sure, theory is useful. But without warmth of heart and without love it bruises the very ones it claims to save.
Andre Gide
Believe those who seek the truth, doubt those who find it doubt all, but do not doubt yourself.
Andre Gide
Without mysticism man can achieve nothing great.
Andre Gide
Please do not understand me too quickly.
Andre Gide
The world will be saved by one or two people.
Andre Gide

Andre Gide
Only fools don't contradict themselves
Andre Gide
Man is more interesting than men. God made him and not them in his image. Each one is more precious than all.
Andre Gide
Woe to these people who have no appetite for the very dish that their age serves up.
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
Most often it happens that one attributes to others only the feelings of which one is capable oneself.
Andre Gide
We should enjoy this summer, flower by flower, as if it were to be the last one we’ll see.
Andre Gide
What thwarts us and demands of us the greatest effort is also what can teach us most.
Andre Gide
To win ones joy through struggle is better than to yield to melancholy.
Andre Gide
There are very few monsters who warrant the fear we have of them.
Andre Gide
The wise man is he who constantly wonders afresh.
Andre Gide
