More quotes by Andre Gide
Do not do what someone else could do as well as you. Do not say, do not write what someone else could say, could write as well as you. Care for nothing in yourself but what you feel exists nowhere else. And, out of yourself create, impatiently or patiently, the most irreplaceable of beings.
Andre Gide
Are you then unable to recognize unless it has the same sound as yours?
Andre Gide
It is not always by plugging away at a difficulty and sticking to it that one overcomes it often it is by working on the one next to it. Some things and some people have to be approached obliquely, at an angle.
Andre Gide
Long only for what you have.
Andre Gide
I wished for nothing beyond her smile, and to walk with her thus, hand in hand, along a sun warmed, flower bordered path.
Andre Gide
True kindness presupposes the faculty of imagining as one's own the suffering and joys of others.
Andre Gide
To win ones joy through struggle is better than to yield to melancholy.
Andre Gide
Fear of ridicule begets the worst cowardice.
Andre Gide
To understand is nothing, but to be understood-that is the problem and the source of anguish. The soul throbs and would have the other know-but can not and feels isolated. Then come gestures, words, awkward explanations and material symbols for imponderable outbursts of feeling-and the soul despairs.
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 public always prefers to be reassured. There are those whose job this is. There are only too many.
Andre Gide
Nothing is more fatal to happiness than the remembrance of happiness.
Andre Gide
Other people's appetites easily appear excessive when one doesn't share them.
Andre Gide
With each book you write you should lose the admirers you gained with the previous one.
Andre Gide
Families, I hate you! Shut-in homes, closed doors, jealous possessors of happiness
Andre Gide
The greatest intelligence is precisely the one that suffers the most from its own limitations.
Andre Gide
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
I believe that in every circumstance I have been able to see rather clearly the most advantageous course I could follow, which is very rarely the one I did follow.
Andre Gide
The nationalist has a broad hatred and a narrow love.
Andre Gide
To love the truth is to refuse to let oneself be saddened by it.
