More quotes by Andre Gide
So long as we live among men, let us cherish humanity.
Andre Gide
If one could recover the uncompromising spirit of one's youth, one's greatest indignation would be for what one has become.
Andre Gide
I believe that in every circumstance I have been able to see rather clearly the most advantageous course I could follow, which is very rarely the one I did follow.
Andre Gide

Andre Gide

Andre Gide

Andre Gide
Every instant of our lives is essentially irreplaceable: you must know this in order to concentrate on life.
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
An experience teaches only the good observer but far from seeking a lesson in it, everyone looks for an argument in experience, and everyone interprets the conclusion in his own way.
Andre Gide
But can one still make resolutions when one is over forty? I live according to twenty-year-old habits.
Andre Gide
Are you then unable to recognize unless it has the same sound as yours?
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
The scholar seeks truth, the artist finds.
Andre Gide
Nothing blocks happiness like happiness remembered.
Andre Gide
Be faithful to that which exists within yourself.
Andre Gide
