Andre Gide

Andre Gide

Andre Gide
A work of art is an exaggeration.
Andre Gide
The wise man is astonished by anything.
Andre Gide
Money cannot buy happiness, but it can make you awfully comfortable while you're being miserable. Nothing prevents happiness like the memory of happiness.
Andre Gide
Enduring fame is promised only to those writers who can offer to successive generations a substance constantly renewed for every generation arrives upon the scene with its own particular hunger.
Andre Gide
