More quotes by Andre Malraux
One cannot create an art that speaks to men when one has nothing to say.
Andre Malraux
The truth of a man is first and foremost what he hides.
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
The truth about a man lies first and foremost in what he hides.
Andre Malraux
I don't argue with my enemies I explain to their children.
Andre Malraux
There is always a need for intoxication: China has opium, Islam has hashish, the West has woman.
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
A large share of our art heritage is now derived from peoples whose idea of art was quite other than ours, and even from peoples to whom the very idea of art meant nothing.
Andre Malraux
Between eigtheen and twenty, life is like an exchange where one buys stocks, not with money, but with actions. Most men buy nothing.
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
War puts its questions stupidly, peace mysteriously.
Andre Malraux
A political leader is necessarily an imposter since he believes in solving life's problems without asking its question.
Andre Malraux
The most important thing in life is to see to it that you are never beaten.
Andre Malraux
There's no such thing as a grown up person.
Andre Malraux
An art book is a museum without walls.
Andre Malraux
Opium teaches only one thing, which is that aside from physical suffering, there is nothing real.
Andre Malraux
Be careful -- with quotations, you can damn anything.
Andre Malraux
What is Man? A miserable little pile of secrets.
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
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
