More quotes by Andre Malraux
The world of art is not a world of immortality but of metamorphosis.
Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux
There are not fifty ways of fighting, there's only one, and that's to win. Neither revolution nor war consists in doing what one pleases.
Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux
The present age delights in unearthing a great man's secrets for one thing because we like to temper our admiration and also perhaps we have a vague hope of finding a clue to genius in such revelations.
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

Andre Malraux
The only domain where the divine is visible is that of art, whatever name we choose to call it.
Andre Malraux
Every young man's heart is a graveyard in which are inscribed the names of a thousand dead artists but whose only actual denizens are a few mighty, often antagonistic, ghosts.
Andre Malraux
As for the outside world, the artist is confronted by what he sees but what he sees is primarily what he looks at.
Andre Malraux
In the realm of human destiny, the depth of man's questionings is more important than his answers.
Andre Malraux
The artist is not the transcriber of the world, he is its rival.
Andre Malraux
One cannot create an art that speaks to men when one has nothing to say.
Andre Malraux
No one can endure his own solitude.
Andre Malraux
Seldom is a Gothic head more beautiful than when broken.
Andre Malraux
To love a painting is to feel that this presence is ... not an object but a voice.
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
History may clarify our understanding of the supreme work of art, but can never account for it completely for the Time of art is not the same as the Time of history.
Andre Malraux
Culture is the sum of all the forms of art, of love, and of thought, which, in the coarse or centuries, have enabled man to be less enslaved
