More quotes by Andre Malraux
Every great masterpiece is a purification of the world.
Andre Malraux
Man is not what he thinks he is, he is what he hides.
Andre Malraux
The terrible thing about death is that it transforms life into destiny.
Andre Malraux
Man knows that the world is not made on a human scale and he wishes that it were.
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
A large share of our art heritage is now derived from peoples whose idea of art was quite other than ours, and even from peoples to whom the very idea of art meant nothing.
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
Genius is not perfected, it is deepened. It does not so much interpret the world as fertilize itself with it.
Andre Malraux
Communism destroys democracy. Democracy can also destroy Communism.
Andre Malraux
An artist discovers his genius the day he dares not to please.
Andre Malraux
The artist is not the transcriber of the world, he is its rival.
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
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
One can fool life for a long time, but in the end it always makes us what we were intended to be.
Andre Malraux
Always, however brutal an age may actually have been, its style transmits its music only.
Andre Malraux
The first duty of a leader is to make himself be loved without courting love. To be loved without 'playing up' to anyone - even to himself.
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
If modern painters feel qualms about applying the term masterpiece to describe a work of capital importance, this is because it has come to convey a notion of perfection: a notion that leads to much confusion when applied to artists other than those who made perfection their ideal.
Andre Malraux
Youth is a religion from which one always ends up being converted.
Andre Malraux
