Andre Malraux
The artist is not the transcriber of the world, he is its rival.
Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux
War puts its questions stupidly, peace mysteriously.
Andre Malraux
And when man faces destiny, destiny ends and man comes into his own.
Andre Malraux
There's no such thing as a grown up person.
Andre Malraux
I don't argue with my enemies I explain to their children.
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
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
The twenty-first century will be spiritual or it will not be.
