Andre Gide
The novelist does not long to see the lion eat grass. He realizes that one and the same God created the wolf and the lamb, then smiled, “seeing that his work was good.”
Andre Gide
He who wants a rose must respect her thorn.
Andre Gide
One doesn't discover new lands without consenting to lose sight, for a very long time, of the shore.
