More quotes by Andre Gide
Nothing is more fatal to happiness than the remembrance of happiness.
Andre Gide
The artist who is after success lets himself be influenced by the public. Generally such an artist contributes nothing new, for the public acclaims only what it already knows, what it recognizes.
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
Whoever starts out toward the unknown must consent to venture alone.
Andre Gide
When I cease to be indignant I will have begun my old age.
Andre Gide
The wise man is he who constantly wonders afresh.
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
No theory is good unless it permits, not rest, but the greatest work. No theory is good except on condition that one use it to go on beyond.
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
Faith can move mountains true: mountains of stupidity.
Andre Gide
What thwarts us and demands of us the greatest effort is also what can teach us most.
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
Are you then unable to recognize unless it has the same sound as yours?
Andre Gide
At times is it seems that I am living my life backward, and that at the approach of old age my real youth will begin. My soul was born covered with wrinkles. Wrinkles my ancestors and parents most assiduously put there and that I had the greatest trouble removing.
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
Each thought becomes an anxiety in my brain. I am becoming the ugliest of all things: a busy man.
Andre Gide
Be faithful to that which exists within yourself.
Andre Gide
It is better to fail at your own life than to succeed at someone else's.
Andre Gide
Man is extraordinarily clever in preventing himself from being happy it would seem that the less able he is to endure misfortune the more apt he is to attach himself to it.
Andre Gide
Complete possession is proved only by giving. All you are unable to give possesses you.
Andre Gide
