More quotes by Andre Malraux
Youth is a religion from which one always ends up being converted.
Andre Malraux
There are not fifty ways of fighting, there is only one: to be the conqueror.
Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux
In ceasing to subordinate creative power to any supreme value, modern art has brought home to us the presence of that creative power throughout the whole history of art.
Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux
Always, however brutal an age may actually have been, its style transmits its music only.
Andre Malraux
To love a painting is to feel that this presence is ... not an object but a voice.
Andre Malraux
A political leader is necessarily an imposter since he believes in solving life's problems without asking its question.
Andre Malraux
Nothing is harder than to get people to think about what they are going to do.
Andre Malraux
There are not fifty ways of fighting, there's only one, and that's to win. Neither revolution nor war consists in doing what one pleases.
Andre Malraux
If man is not ready to risk his life, where is his dignity?
Andre Malraux
Some pictures are in the gallery because they belong to humanity and others because they belong to the United States.
Andre Malraux
Man knows that the world is not made on a human scale and he wishes that it were.
Andre Malraux
