More quotes by Andre Gide
The public always prefers to be reassured. There are those whose job this is. There are only too many.
Andre Gide
The belief that becomes truth for me... is that which allows me the best use of my strength, the best means of putting my virtues into action.
Andre Gide
It is often so: the harder it is to hear, the more a truth is worth saying.
Andre Gide
In order to be utterly happy the only thing necessary is to refrain from comparing this moment with other moments in the past, which I often did not fully enjoy because I was comparing them with other moments of the future.
Andre Gide
There are very few monsters who warrant the fear we have of them.
Andre Gide
It would be wisest not to worry too much about the sterile periods. They ventilate the subject and instill into it the reality of daily life.
Andre Gide
What thwarts us and demands of us the greatest effort is also what can teach us most.
Andre Gide
In order to judge properly, one must get away somewhat from what one is judging, after having loved it. This is true of countries, of persons, and of oneself.
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
Sadness is a state of sin.
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
We should enjoy this summer, flower by flower, as if it were to be the last one we’ll see.
Andre Gide
Life never presents us with anything which may not be looked upon as a fresh starting point, no less than as a termination.
Andre Gide
Obsessions of the Orient, of the desert, of its ardor and its emptiness, of the shadows of palm gardens, of the garments white and wide - obsessions where the senses go berserk, where nerves are exasperated, and which made me, at the onset of each night, believe sleep impossible.
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
Prejudices are the props of civilization.
Andre Gide
The most important things to say are those which often I did not think necessary for me to say - because they were too obvious.
Andre Gide
From the satisfaction of desire there may arise, accompanying joy and as it were sheltering behind it, something not unlike despair.
Andre Gide
One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.
Andre Gide
Nothing is so silly as the expression of a man who is being complimented.
Andre Gide
