More quotes by Andre Gide
The most beaten paths are certainly the surest, but do not hope to start much game on them.
Andre Gide
The abominable effort to take one’s sins with one to paradise.
Andre Gide
To know how to free oneself is nothing the arduous thing is to know what to do with one's freedom.
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 Those from which the sap has withdrawn.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
The individual person is more interesting than people in general he and not they is the one whom God created in His image.
Andre Gide
There are many things that seem impossible only so long as one does not attempt them.
Andre Gide
The thing I am most aware of is my limits. And this is natural for I never, or almost never, occupy the middle of my cage my whole being surges toward the bars.
Andre Gide

Welcome anything that comes to you, but do not long for anything else.
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
To win ones joy through struggle is better than to yield to melancholy.
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
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
When everything belongs to everyone, nobody will take care of anything.
Andre Gide
Work and struggle and never accept an evil that you can change.
Andre Gide
'Therefore' is a word the poet must not know.
Andre Gide
It is unthinkable for a Frenchman to arrive at middle age without having syphilis and the Cross of the Legion of Honor.
Andre Gide
Nothing is more fatal to happiness than the remembrance of happiness.
Andre Gide
Drunkenness is never anything but a substitute for happiness.
Andre Gide
What another would have done as well as you, do not do it. What another would have said as well as you, do not say it what another would have written as well, do not write it. Be faithful to that which exists nowhere but in yourself - and thus make yourself indispensable.
Andre Gide
