More quotes by Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux
If you can't make art, make your life a work of art.

Some pictures are in the gallery because they belong to humanity and others because they belong to the United States.
Andre Malraux
An art book is a museum without walls.
Andre Malraux
Seldom is a Gothic head more beautiful than when broken.
Andre Malraux
Genius is not perfected, it is deepened. It does not so much interpret the world as fertilize itself with it.
Andre Malraux
No one can endure his own solitude.
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
