More quotes by Andre Gide
Too chaste a youth leads to a dissolute old age.
Andre Gide
I can't expect others to share my virtues. It's good enough for me if they share my vices.
Andre Gide
It is often so: the harder it is to hear, the more a truth is worth saying.
Andre Gide
The most gifted natures are perhaps also the most trembling.
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
It is unthinkable for a Frenchman to arrive at middle age without having syphilis and the Cross of the Legion of Honor.
Andre Gide
The true return to nature is the definitive return to the elements-death.
Andre Gide
I owe much to my friends but, all things considered, it strikes me that I owe even more to my enemies. The real person springs life under a sting even better than under a caress.
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
The sole art that suits me is that which, rising from unrest, tends toward serenity.
Andre Gide
If only we could lean over the soul we love and see as in a mirror the image we cast!
Andre Gide
One is always wrong to open a conversation with the devil, for, however he goes about it, he always insists upon having the last word.
Andre Gide
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
Though a revolution may call itself national, it always marks the victory of a single party.
Andre Gide
Nothing blocks happiness like happiness remembered.
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
We live counterfeit lives in order to resemble the idea we first had of ourselves.
Andre Gide
Whoever starts out toward the unknown must consent to venture alone.
Andre Gide
Obtain from yourself all that makes complaining useless. No longer implore from others what you yourself can obtain.
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
