Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux
Nothing is harder than to get people to think about what they are going to do.
Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux
The truth of a man is first and foremost what he hides.
Andre Malraux
And when man faces destiny, destiny ends and man comes into his own.
Andre Malraux
An individualism which has got beyond the stage of hedonism tends to yield to the lure of the grandiose. It was not man, the individual, nor even the Supreme Being, that Robespierre set up against Christ it was that Leviathan, the Nation.
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
He who has dreamed for long resembles his dream.
