More quotes by Andre Malraux
If we cannot shape our destiny there as no such thing as witchcraft.
Andre Malraux
War puts its questions stupidly, peace mysteriously.
Andre Malraux
And when man faces destiny, destiny ends and man comes into his own.
Andre Malraux
Some pictures are in the gallery because they belong to humanity and others because they belong to the United States.
Andre Malraux
The present age delights in unearthing a great man's secrets for one thing because we like to temper our admiration and also perhaps we have a vague hope of finding a clue to genius in such revelations.
Andre Malraux
The true painter strives to paint what can only be seen through his world.
Andre Malraux
If you can't make art, make your life a work of art.
Andre Malraux
Here, reality is not subordinated to painting, indeed painting seems the handmaid of reality, though we feel it tending towards a procedure which, while not at the mercy of appearances, is not yet in conflict with them.
Andre Malraux
The artist is not the transcriber of the world, he is its rival.
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
I don't argue with my enemies I explain to their children.
Andre Malraux
In art, we are the first heirs of all the earth. . . . Accidents impair and Time transforms, but it is we who choose.
Andre Malraux
There is always a need for intoxication: China has opium, Islam has hashish, the West has woman.
Andre Malraux
Seldom is a Gothic head more beautiful than when broken.
Andre Malraux
He who has dreamed for long resembles his dream.
Andre Malraux
An individualism which has got beyond the stage of hedonism tends to yield to the lure of the grandiose. It was not man, the individual, nor even the Supreme Being, that Robespierre set up against Christ it was that Leviathan, the Nation.
Andre Malraux
Always, however brutal an age may actually have been, its style transmits its music only.
Andre Malraux
One cannot create an art that speaks to men when one has nothing to say.
Andre Malraux
Often the difference between a successful person and a failure is not one has better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on one's ideas, to take a calculated risk - and to act.
Andre Malraux
Christ...an anarchist who succeeded. That's all.
Andre Malraux
