Andre Gide
The belief that becomes truth for me... is that which allows me the best use of my strength, the best means of putting my virtues into action.
Andre Gide
The true return to nature is the definitive return to the elements-death.

Andre Gide
Are you then unable to recognize unless it has the same sound as yours?
Andre Gide
Faith can move mountains true: mountains of stupidity.
Andre Gide
