More quotes by Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux
There is always a need for intoxication: China has opium, Islam has hashish, the West has woman.
Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux
No one can endure his own solitude.
Andre Malraux
To love a painting is to feel that this presence is ... not an object but a voice.
Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux
Seldom is a Gothic head more beautiful than when broken.
Andre Malraux
The ordinary man puts up a struggle against all that is not himself, whereas it is against himself, in a limited but all-essential field, that the artist has to battle.
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
Every creation is, at its root, the struggle between potential form and imitated form.
Andre Malraux
To understand what the outside of an aquarium looks like, it's better not to be a fish.
Andre Malraux
Be careful -- with quotations, you can damn anything.
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
