More quotes by Andre Gide
How much more sensuality invites to art than does sentimentality.
Andre Gide
Obsessions of the Orient, of the desert, of its ardor and its emptiness, of the shadows of palm gardens, of the garments white and wide - obsessions where the senses go berserk, where nerves are exasperated, and which made me, at the onset of each night, believe sleep impossible.
Andre Gide
Great minds tend toward banality. It is the noblest effort of individualism. But it implies a sort of modesty, which is so rare that it is scarcely found except in the greatest, or in beggars.
Andre Gide
Obtain from yourself all that makes complaining useless. No longer implore from others what you yourself can obtain.
Andre Gide
Don't think that your truth could be found by someone else.
Andre Gide
It is now, and in this world, that we must live.
Andre Gide
Nothing prevents happiness like the memory of happiness.
Andre Gide
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.
Andre Gide
The most important things to say are those which often I did not think necessary for me to say - because they were too obvious.
Andre Gide
Too chaste an adolescence makes for a dissolute old age. It is doubtless easier to give up something one has known than something one imagines.
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
Profound optimism is always on the side of the tortured.
Andre Gide
It is good to follow one's own bent, so long as it leads upward.
Andre Gide
The true return to nature is the definitive return to the elements-death.
Andre Gide
Long only for what you have.
Andre Gide
No theory is good unless it permits, not rest, but the greatest work. No theory is good except on condition that one use it to go on beyond.
Andre Gide
To be sure, theory is useful. But without warmth of heart and without love it bruises the very ones it claims to save.
Andre Gide
The less intelligent the white man is, the more stupid he thinks the black.
Andre Gide
Are you then unable to recognize unless it has the same sound as yours?
Andre Gide
It is not always by plugging away at a difficulty and sticking to it that one overcomes it often it is by working on the one next to it. Some things and some people have to be approached obliquely, at an angle.
Andre Gide
