Andre Gide
Are you then unable to recognize unless it has the same sound as yours?
Andre Gide
Understanding is the beginning of approving.
Andre Gide
One completely overcomes only what one assimilates.
Andre Gide
It is better to fail at your own life than to succeed at someone else's.
Andre Gide
The only really Christian art is that which, like St. Francis, does not fear being wedded to poverty. This rises far above art-as-ornament.
Andre Gide
Fear of ridicule begets the worst cowardice.
Andre Gide
It is often so: the harder it is to hear, the more a truth is worth saying.
Andre Gide
Let every emotion be capable becoming an intoxication to you. If what you eat fails to make you drunk, it is because you are not hungry enough.
Andre Gide
Work and struggle and never accept an evil that you can change.
Andre Gide
Mozart's joy is made of serenity, and a phrase of his music is like a calm thought his simplicity is merely purity. It is a crystalline thing in which all the emotions play a role, but as if already celestially transposed. Moderation consists in feeling emotions as the angels do.
Andre Gide
There's a law in life: whenever a door closes, a new one will open.
Andre Gide
Be faithful to that which exists within yourself.
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
One should want only one thing and want it constantly. Then one is sure of getting it. But I desire everything, and consequently get nothing.
Andre Gide
With each book you write you should lose the admirers you gained with the previous one.
Andre Gide
The sole art that suits me is that which, rising from unrest, tends toward serenity.
Andre Gide
It is one of life's laws that as soon as one door closes another opens. But the tragedy is we look at the closed door and disregard the open one.
Andre Gide
What eludes logic is the most precious element in us, and one can draw nothing from a syllogism that the mind has not put there in advance.
Andre Gide
A desire for truth is by no means a need for certitude and it would be unwise to confuse one with the other.
Andre Gide
