Andre Malraux
An artist discovers his genius the day he dares not to please.
Andre Malraux
There is always a need for intoxication: China has opium, Islam has hashish, the West has woman.

Andre Malraux
The attempt to force human beings to despise themselves is what I call hell.
Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux
Man is not what he thinks he is, he is what he hides.
Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux

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
The truth about a man lies first and foremost in what he hides.
Andre Malraux
If man is not ready to risk his life, where is his dignity?
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
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
He who has dreamed for long resembles his dream.
Andre Malraux
