Andre Gide
There are many things that seem impossible only so long as one does not attempt them.
Andre Gide
A work of art is an exaggeration.
Andre Gide
The most beaten paths are certainly the surest, but do not hope to start much game on them.
Andre Gide

Andre Gide
Seize from every moment its unique novelty, and do not prepare your joys.
Andre Gide
Of some forty families I have been able to observe, I know hardly four in which the parents do not act in such a way that nothing would be more desirable for the child than to escape their influence.
Andre Gide
The belief that becomes truth for me... is that which allows me the best use of my strength, the best means of putting my virtues into action.
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

Andre Gide

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
Nothing prevents happiness like the memory of happiness.
Andre Gide
Generally among intelligent people are found nothing but paralytics and among men of action nothing but fools.
Andre Gide
What would there be in a story of happiness? Only what prepares it, only what destroys it can be told.
Andre Gide
The scholar seeks truth, the artist finds.
Andre Gide
