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
The first duty of a leader is to make himself be loved without courting love. To be loved without 'playing up' to anyone - even to himself.
Andre Malraux
