More quotes by Andre Malraux
Man is not what he thinks he is, he is what he hides.
Andre Malraux
Though man's feeling for the other-worldly often has recourse to solitude, solitude does not foster its development rather, it is nourished by communion, to which the church is more propitious than the cemetery.
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
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
In art, we are the first heirs of all the earth. . . . Accidents impair and Time transforms, but it is we who choose.
Andre Malraux
I don't argue with my enemies I explain to their children.
Andre Malraux
Man knows that the world is not made on a human scale and he wishes that it were.
Andre Malraux
Opium teaches only one thing, which is that aside from physical suffering, there is nothing real.
Andre Malraux
The true painter strives to paint what can only be seen through his world.
Andre Malraux
Surely that little pseudo-gothic church on Broadway, hidden amongst the skyscrapers, is symbolic of the age! On the whole face of the globe the civilization that has conquered it has failed to build a temple or a tomb.
Andre Malraux
As for the outside world, the artist is confronted by what he sees but what he sees is primarily what he looks at.
Andre Malraux
Christ...an anarchist who succeeded. That's all.
Andre Malraux
Communism destroys democracy. Democracy can also destroy Communism.
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
You can only make art that talks to the masses when you have nothing to say to them.
Andre Malraux
War puts its questions stupidly, peace mysteriously.
Andre Malraux
The terrible thing about death is that it transforms life into destiny.
Andre Malraux
Just as a musician loves music and not nightingales, and a poet loves poetry and not sunsets, a painter is not primarily a person who responds to figures and landscapes. He is primarily one who loves pictures.
Andre Malraux
The attempt to force human beings to despise themselves is what I call hell.
Andre Malraux
All art is a revolt against man's fate.
Andre Malraux
