More quotes by Andre Malraux
The truth about a man lies first and foremost in what he hides.
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
If we cannot shape our destiny there as no such thing as witchcraft.
Andre Malraux
There's no such thing as a grown up person.
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
All art is a revolt against man's fate.
Andre Malraux
A political leader is necessarily an imposter since he believes in solving life's problems without asking its question.
Andre Malraux
One can fool life for a long time, but in the end it always makes us what we were intended to be.
Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux
And when man faces destiny, destiny ends and man comes into his own.
Andre Malraux
The terrible thing about death is that it transforms life into destiny.
Andre Malraux
There is always a need for intoxication: China has opium, Islam has hashish, the West has woman.
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
Youth is a religion from which one always ends up being converted.
Andre Malraux
Always, however brutal an age may actually have been, its style transmits its music only.
Andre Malraux
If man is not ready to risk his life, where is his dignity?
Andre Malraux
Nothing is harder than to get people to think about what they are going to do.
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
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
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
