More quotes by Andre Malraux
The crucial discovery was made that, in order to become painting, the universe seen by the artist had to become a private one created by himself.
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
One cannot create an art that speaks to men when one has nothing to say.
Andre Malraux
Genius is not perfected, it is deepened. It does not so much interpret the world as fertilize itself with it.
Andre Malraux
What is Man? A miserable little pile of secrets.
Andre Malraux
A break in the established order is never the work of chance. It is the outcome of a man's resolve to turn life to account.
Andre Malraux
If man is not ready to risk his life, where is his dignity?
Andre Malraux
There's no such thing as a grown up person.
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
Athirst for personal salvation, the West forgets that many religions had but a vague notion of the life beyond the grave true, all great religions stake a claim on eternity, but not necessarily on man's eternal life.
Andre Malraux
To understand what the outside of an aquarium looks like, it's better not to be a fish.
Andre Malraux
The artist is not the transcriber of the world, he is its rival.
Andre Malraux
Since 1789 history has had a new perspective, revolution being a successful revolt, and revolt a revolution that has failed.
Andre Malraux
The only domain where the divine is visible is that of art, whatever name we choose to call it.
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
Man knows that the world is not made on a human scale and he wishes that it were.
Andre Malraux
If you can't make art, make your life a work of art.
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
The twenty-first century will be spiritual or it will not be.
Andre Malraux
The terrible thing about death is that it transforms life into destiny.
Andre Malraux
