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
The attempt to force human beings to despise themselves is what I call hell.
Andre Malraux
Some pictures are in the gallery because they belong to humanity and others because they belong to the United States.
Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux
War puts its questions stupidly, peace mysteriously.
Andre Malraux
Culture is the sum of all the forms of art, of love, and of thought, which, in the coarse or centuries, have enabled man to be less enslaved
Andre Malraux
The next century's task will be to rediscover its gods.
Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux
