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
Image
To love the truth is to refuse to let oneself be saddened by it.
Andre Gide
Image
Pay attention only to the form emotion will come spontaneously to inhabit it. A perfect dwelling always finds an inhabitant. The artist's business is to build the dwelling as for the inhabitant, it is up to the reader to provide him.
Andre Gide
Image
In order to judge properly, one must get away somewhat from what one is judging, after having loved it. This is true of countries, of persons, and of oneself.
Andre Gide
Image
The truth is, I hoped the cure would dislike me. I tried to think of disagreeable things to say to him -- I could hit on nothing that wasn't charming. It's wonderful how hard I find it not to be fascinating.
