Atheism. There is not a single exalting and emancipating influence that does not in turn become inhibitory.

Image
Art begins with resistance - at the point where resistance is overcome. No human masterpiece has ever been created without great labor.

The greatest intelligence is precisely the one that suffers the most from its own limitations.

Nothing prevents happiness like the memory of happiness.
Andre Gide

Nothing is more fatal to happiness than the remembrance of happiness.
Andre Gide
Image
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
Image
Every instant of our lives is essentially irreplaceable: you must know this in order to concentrate on life.
Andre Gide
