Andre Gide
The wise man is he who constantly wonders afresh.
Andre Gide
The most beautiful things are those that madness prompts and reason writes.
Andre Gide
To know how to free oneself is nothing the arduous thing is to know what to do with one's freedom.
Andre Gide
What seems different in yourself that's the rare thing you possess. The one thing that gives each of us his worth, and that's just what we try to suppress. And we claim to love life.
