More quotes by Andre Malraux
There's no such thing as a grown up person.
Andre Malraux
Seldom is a Gothic head more beautiful than when broken.
Andre Malraux
A break in the established order is never the work of chance. It is the outcome of a man's resolve to turn life to account.
Andre Malraux
The great mystery is not that we should have been thrown down here at random between the profusion of matter and that of the stars it is that from our very prison we should draw, from our own selves, images powerful enough to deny our own nothingness.
Andre Malraux
All art is a revolt against man's fate.
Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux
Man knows that the world is not made on a human scale and he wishes that it were.
Andre Malraux
To love a painting is to feel that this presence is ... not an object but a voice.
Andre Malraux
An artist discovers his genius the day he dares not to please.
Andre Malraux
Be careful -- with quotations, you can damn anything.
Andre Malraux
Between eigtheen and twenty, life is like an exchange where one buys stocks, not with money, but with actions. Most men buy nothing.
Andre Malraux
Chanel, General De Gaulle and Picasso are the three most important figures of our time.
Andre Malraux
Nothing is harder than to get people to think about what they are going to do.
Andre Malraux
To understand what the outside of an aquarium looks like, it's better not to be a fish.
Andre Malraux
Opium teaches only one thing, which is that aside from physical suffering, there is nothing real.
Andre Malraux
