More quotes by Andre Gide
Faith can move mountains true: mountains of stupidity.
Andre Gide
Know thyself. A maxim as pernicious as it is ugly. Whoever studies himself arrest his own development. A caterpillar who seeks to know himself would never become a butterfly.
Andre Gide
I find just as much profit in cultivating my hates as my loves.
Andre Gide
The work of art is the exaggeration of an idea.
Andre Gide
An experience teaches only the good observer but far from seeking a lesson in it, everyone looks for an argument in experience, and everyone interprets the conclusion in his own way.
Andre Gide
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
To love the truth is to refuse to let oneself be saddened by it.
Andre Gide
Believe in your strength and your vision. Learn to repeat to yourself, 'It all depends on me'.
Andre Gide
Do not think your truth can be found by anyone else.
Andre Gide
To what a degree the same past can leave different marks - and especially admit of different interpretations.
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
An artist cannot get along without a public and when the public is absent, what does he do? He invents it, and turning his back on his age, he looks toward the future for what the present denies.
Andre Gide
Work and struggle and never accept an evil that you can change.
Andre Gide
Whither should we aim if not towards God?
Andre Gide
There is no prejudice that the work of art does not finally overcome.
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
Great authors are admirable in this respect: in every generation they make for disagreement. Through them we become aware of our differences.
Andre Gide
Don't think that your truth could be found by someone else.
Andre Gide
How do you know that the fruit is ripe? Simply because it leaves the branch.
Andre Gide
Of some forty families I have been able to observe, I know hardly four in which the parents do not act in such a way that nothing would be more desirable for the child than to escape their influence.
Andre Gide
