Andre Gide
God depends on us. It is through us that God is achieved.
Andre Gide
Obtain from yourself all that makes complaining useless. No longer implore from others what you yourself can obtain.
Andre Gide
The individual never asserts himself more than when he forgets himself.
Andre Gide
The less intelligent the white man is, the more stupid he thinks the black.
Andre Gide
Through loyalty to the past, our mind refuses to realize that tomorrow's joy is possible only if today's makes way for it that each wave owes the beauty of its line only to the withdrawal of the preceding one.
Andre Gide
To understand is nothing, but to be understood-that is the problem and the source of anguish. The soul throbs and would have the other know-but can not and feels isolated. Then come gestures, words, awkward explanations and material symbols for imponderable outbursts of feeling-and the soul despairs.
Andre Gide

Andre Gide
There are very few monsters who warrant the fear we have of them.
Andre Gide
We no longer admit any other truth than that which is expedient for there is no worse error than the truth that may weaken the arm that is fighting.
Andre Gide
Man is more interesting than men. God made him and not them in his image. Each one is more precious than all.
Andre Gide
Seize from every moment its unique novelty, and do not prepare your joys.
Andre Gide
How much more sensuality invites to art than does sentimentality.
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
Great minds tend toward banality. It is the noblest effort of individualism. But it implies a sort of modesty, which is so rare that it is scarcely found except in the greatest, or in beggars.
Andre Gide
I do not love men: I love what devours them.
Andre Gide
Sin is whatever obscures the soul.
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
