When I cease to be indignant I will have begun my old age.
Andre Gide
The very act of sacrifice magnifies the one who sacrifices himself to the point where his sacrifice is much more costly to humanity than would have been the loss of those for whom he is sacrificing himself. But in his abnegation lies the secret of his grandeur.
Andre Gide
An opinion, though it is original, does not necessarily differ from the accepted opinion the important thing is that it does not try to conform to it.
Andre Gide
The pettiness of a mind can be measured by the pettiness of its adoration or its blasphemy.
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
Generally among intelligent people are found nothing but paralytics and among men of action nothing but fools.
Andre Gide
The greatest intelligence is precisely the one that suffers the most from its own limitations.
Andre Gide
Nothing is good for everyone, but only relatively to some people.
Andre Gide

Andre Gide
Do not scorn little victories.
Andre Gide
Know that joy is rarer, more difficult, and more beautiful than sadness. Once you make this all-important discovery, you must embrace joy as a moral obligation.
Andre Gide
Great authors are admirable in this respect: in every generation they make for disagreement. Through them we become aware of our differences.
Andre Gide
Do not do what someone else could do as well as you. Do not say, do not write what someone else could say, could write as well as you. Care for nothing in yourself but what you feel exists nowhere else. And, out of yourself create, impatiently or patiently, the most irreplaceable of beings.
Andre Gide
Most quarrels amplify a misunderstanding.
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
Sadness is almost never anything but a form of fatigue.
Andre Gide
It is one of life's laws that as soon as one door closes another opens. But the tragedy is we look at the closed door and disregard the open one.
Andre Gide
There is no feeling so simple that it is not immediately complicated and distorted by introspection.
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
The want of logic annoys. Too much logic bores. Life eludes logic, and everything that logic alone constructs remains artificial and forced.
Andre Gide
