Image
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
Image
The most subtle art, the strongest and deepest art - supreme art - is the one that does not at first allow itself to be recognized.
Andre Gide
Image
Money cannot buy happiness, but it can make you awfully comfortable while you're being miserable. Nothing prevents happiness like the memory of happiness.
Andre Gide
Image
The only really Christian art is that which, like St. Francis, does not fear being wedded to poverty. This rises far above art-as-ornament.
Andre Gide
Image
Nothing is good for everyone, but only relatively to some people.
Andre Gide

By the time a philospher answers a question weve usually forgotten what was asked.
Andre Gide

Believe those who seek the truth, doubt those who find it doubt all, but do not doubt yourself.
Andre Gide
Image
The loveliest creations of men are persistently painful. What would be the description of happiness? Nothing, except what prepares and then what destroys it.

Andre Gide
Image
Society knows perfectly well how to kill a man and has methods more subtle than death
Andre Gide
Image
The most beaten paths are certainly the surest, but do not hope to start much game on them.
Andre Gide
Image
True intelligence very readily conceives of an intelligence superior to its own and this is why truly intelligent men are modest.
Andre Gide
Image
Nothing is so silly as the expression of a man who is being complimented.
Andre Gide
Image
Let the dead bury the dead. There is not a single word of Christ to which the Christian religion has paid less attention.
Andre Gide
Image
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
Image
With each book you write you should lose the admirers you gained with the previous one.
Andre Gide
Image
It is not becoming to lay to virtue the weariness of old age.
