More quotes by Andre Malraux
Always, however brutal an age may actually have been, its style transmits its music only.
Andre Malraux
The great mystery is not that we should have been thrown down here at random between the profusion of matter and that of the stars it is that from our very prison we should draw, from our own selves, images powerful enough to deny our own nothingness.
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
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
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
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 ceasing to subordinate creative power to any supreme value, modern art has brought home to us the presence of that creative power throughout the whole history of art.
Andre Malraux
Every creation is, at its root, the struggle between potential form and imitated form.
Andre Malraux
Be careful -- with quotations, you can damn anything.
Andre Malraux
Genius is not perfected, it is deepened. It does not so much interpret the world as fertilize itself with it.
Andre Malraux
The mind supplies the idea of a nation, but what gives this idea its sentimental force is a community of dreams.
Andre Malraux
A political leader is necessarily an imposter since he believes in solving life's problems without asking its question.
Andre Malraux
There are not fifty ways of fighting, there is only one: to be the conqueror.
Andre Malraux
There's no such thing as a grown up person.
Andre Malraux
No one can endure his own solitude.
Andre Malraux
The twenty-first century will be spiritual or it will not be.
Andre Malraux
Communism destroys democracy. Democracy can also destroy Communism.
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
To understand what the outside of an aquarium looks like, it's better not to be a fish.
Andre Malraux
Every great masterpiece is a purification of the world.
Andre Malraux
