More quotes by 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

Andre Gide

Andre Gide
We should enjoy this summer, flower by flower, as if it were to be the last one we’ll see.
Andre Gide
If a young writer can refrain from writing, he shouldn’t hesitate to do so.
Andre Gide
The true return to nature is the definitive return to the elements-death.
Andre Gide
Drunkenness is never anything but a substitute for happiness.
Andre Gide
The most decisive actions of our life - I mean those that are most likely to decide the whole course of our future - are, more often than not, unconsidered.
Andre Gide
