More quotes by Andre Malraux
If we cannot shape our destiny there as no such thing as witchcraft.
Andre Malraux
The most important thing in life is to see to it that you are never beaten.
Andre Malraux
To understand what the outside of an aquarium looks like, it's better not to be a fish.
Andre Malraux
In a world in which everything is subject to the passing of time, art alone is both subject to time and yet victorious over it.
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
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
If you can't make art, make your life a work of art.
Andre Malraux
The terrible thing about death is that it transforms life into destiny.
Andre Malraux
Some pictures are in the gallery because they belong to humanity and others because they belong to the United States.
Andre Malraux
The artist is not the transcriber of the world, he is its rival.
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
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
Our art culture makes no attempt to search the past for precedents, but transforms the entire past into a sequence of provisional responses to a problem that remains intact.
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
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
In so far as he is a creator, the artist does not belong to a social group already moulded by a culture, but to a culture which he is by way of building up.
Andre Malraux
He who has dreamed for long resembles his dream.
Andre Malraux
And when man faces destiny, destiny ends and man comes into his own.
Andre Malraux
The only domain where the divine is visible is that of art, whatever name we choose to call it.
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
