More quotes by Andre Malraux
Always, however brutal an age may actually have been, its style transmits its music only.
Andre Malraux

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
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

Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux
No one can endure his own solitude.
Andre Malraux
If man is not ready to risk his life, where is his dignity?
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 you can't make art, make your life a work of art.
Andre Malraux
A political leader is necessarily an imposter since he believes in solving life's problems without asking its question.
Andre Malraux
Since 1789 history has had a new perspective, revolution being a successful revolt, and revolt a revolution that has failed.
Andre Malraux
Chanel, General De Gaulle and Picasso are the three most important figures of our time.
Andre Malraux
