The thrill of creation which we experience which we experience when we see a masterpiece is not unlike the feeling of the artist who created it such a work is a fragment of the world which he has annexed and which belongs to him alone.

More quotes by Andre Malraux
An artist discovers his genius the day he dares not to please.
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
Often the difference between a successful person and a failure is not one has better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on one's ideas, to take a calculated risk - and to act.
Andre Malraux
The next century's task will be to rediscover its gods.
Andre Malraux
Genius is not perfected, it is deepened. It does not so much interpret the world as fertilize itself with it.
Andre Malraux
The attempt to force human beings to despise themselves is what I call hell.
Andre Malraux
The truth of a man is first and foremost what he hides.
Andre Malraux
Some pictures are in the gallery because they belong to humanity and others because they belong to the United States.
Andre Malraux
Every creation is, at its root, the struggle between potential form and imitated form.
Andre Malraux
To love a painting is to feel that this presence is ... not an object but a voice.
Andre Malraux
Here, reality is not subordinated to painting, indeed painting seems the handmaid of reality, though we feel it tending towards a procedure which, while not at the mercy of appearances, is not yet in conflict with them.
Andre Malraux
The first duty of a leader is to make himself be loved without courting love. To be loved without 'playing up' to anyone - even to himself.
Andre Malraux
The truth about a man lies first and foremost in what he hides.
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
An art book is a museum without walls.
Andre Malraux
No one can endure his own solitude.
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
There is always a need for intoxication: China has opium, Islam has hashish, the West has woman.
Andre Malraux
Man knows that the world is not made on a human scale and he wishes that it were.
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
