Andre Malraux
Be careful -- with quotations, you can damn anything.
Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux
An artist discovers his genius the day he dares not to please.
Andre Malraux
An art book is a museum without walls.
Andre Malraux
In a world in which everything is subject to the passing of time, art alone is both subject to time and yet victorious over it.
Andre Malraux
Chanel, General De Gaulle and Picasso are the three most important figures of our time.
Andre Malraux
A political leader is necessarily an imposter since he believes in solving life's problems without asking its question.
Andre Malraux
Man knows that the world is not made on a human scale and he wishes that it were.
Andre Malraux
The only domain where the divine is visible is that of art, whatever name we choose to call it.
Andre Malraux
Our civilization ... is not devaluing its awareness of the unknowable nor is it deifying it. It is the first civilization that has severed it from religion and superstition. In order to question it.
Andre Malraux
