Do not scorn little victories.
Andre Gide

Andre Gide

Andre Gide

Andre Gide

Andre Gide
Let the dead bury the dead. There is not a single word of Christ to which the Christian religion has paid less attention.
Andre Gide
The true hypocrite is the one who ceases to perceive his deception, the one who lies with sincerity.
Andre Gide
The less intelligent the white man is, the more stupid he thinks the black.
Andre Gide
Profound optimism is always on the side of the tortured.
Andre Gide
The most decisive actions of life are most often unconsidered actions.
Andre Gide
Seize from every moment its unique novelty, and do not prepare your joys.
Andre Gide
