Andre Gide
The young people who come to me in the hope of hearing me utter a few memorable maxims are quite disappointed. Aphorisms are not my forte, I say nothing but banalities.... I listen to them and they go away delighted.
Andre Gide
When intelligent people pride themselves on not understanding, it is quite natural they should succeed better than fools.
Andre Gide
There is no prejudice that the work of art does not finally overcome.
Andre Gide
An opinion, though it is original, does not necessarily differ from the accepted opinion the important thing is that it does not try to conform to it.
Andre Gide
Great minds tend toward banality. It is the noblest effort of individualism. But it implies a sort of modesty, which is so rare that it is scarcely found except in the greatest, or in beggars.
Andre Gide
