Faith can move mountains true: mountains of stupidity.
Andre Gide
To what a degree the same past can leave different marks - and especially admit of different interpretations.
Andre Gide
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
Do not scorn little victories.
Andre Gide

Andre Gide
Everything has been said before, but since nobody listens we have to keep going back and beginning all over again.
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
When everything belongs to everyone, nobody will take care of anything.
Andre Gide
Let the dead bury the dead. There is not a single word of Christ to which the Christian religion has paid less attention.
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
Fish die belly upward, and rise to the surface. Its their way of falling.
Andre Gide
Old hands soil, it seems, whatever they caress, but they too have their beauty when they are joined in prayer. Young hands were made for caresses and the sheathing of love. It is a pity to make them join too soon.
Andre Gide
It is unthinkable for a Frenchman to arrive at middle age without having syphilis and the Cross of the Legion of Honor.
