More quotes by Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux
There are not fifty ways of fighting, there is only one: to be the conqueror.
Andre Malraux
The only domain where the divine is visible is that of art, whatever name we choose to call it.
Andre Malraux
The terrible thing about death is that it transforms life into destiny.
Andre Malraux
There is always a need for intoxication: China has opium, Islam has hashish, the West has woman.
Andre Malraux
What is Man? A miserable little pile of secrets.
Andre Malraux
And when man faces destiny, destiny ends and man comes into his own.
Andre Malraux
Our art culture makes no attempt to search the past for precedents, but transforms the entire past into a sequence of provisional responses to a problem that remains intact.
Andre Malraux
Man is not what he thinks he is, he is what he hides.
Andre Malraux
