Andre Gide
Most often it happens that one attributes to others only the feelings of which one is capable oneself.
Andre Gide

We live counterfeit lives in order to resemble the idea we first had of ourselves.
Andre Gide
A straight path never leads anywhere except to the objective.
Andre Gide
Man's responsibility increases as that of the gods decreases.
Andre Gide
The thing I am most aware of is my limits. And this is natural for I never, or almost never, occupy the middle of my cage my whole being surges toward the bars.
Andre Gide
