More quotes by 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
Wisdom comes not from reason but from love.
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
The great artist is one whom constraint exalts, for whom the obstacle is a springboard.
Andre Gide
It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for something you are not.
Andre Gide
An artist cannot get along without a public and when the public is absent, what does he do? He invents it, and turning his back on his age, he looks toward the future for what the present denies.
Andre Gide
God lies ahead. I convince myself and constantly repeat to myself that: He depends on us. It is through us that God is achieved.
Andre Gide
He who wants a rose must respect her thorn.
Andre Gide
Oh, would that my mind could let fall its dead ideas, as the tree does its withered leaves! And without too many regrets, if possible! Those from which the sap has withdrawn. But, good Lord, what beautiful colors!
Andre Gide
Art begins with resistance - at the point where resistance is overcome. No human masterpiece has ever been created without great labor.
Andre Gide
The novelist does not long to see the lion eat grass. He realizes that one and the same God created the wolf and the lamb, then smiled, “seeing that his work was good.”
Andre Gide
Work and struggle and never accept an evil that you can change.
Andre Gide
Most quarrels amplify a misunderstanding.
Andre Gide
Believe those who seek the truth, doubt those who find it doubt all, but do not doubt yourself.
Andre Gide
Chastity more rarely follows fear, or a resolution, or a vow, than it is the mere effect of lack of appetite and, sometimes even, of distaste.
Andre Gide
The nationalist has a broad hatred and a narrow love.
Andre Gide
In hell there is no other punishment than to begin over and over again the tasks left unfinished in your lifetime.
Andre Gide
Pay attention only to the form emotion will come spontaneously to inhabit it. A perfect dwelling always finds an inhabitant. The artist's business is to build the dwelling as for the inhabitant, it is up to the reader to provide him.
Andre Gide
A work of art is an exaggeration.
Andre Gide
The capacity to get free is nothing the capacity to be free is the task.
Andre Gide
