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
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
One cannot create an art that speaks to men when one has nothing to say.
Andre Malraux
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.
Andre Malraux
Man knows that the world is not made on a human scale and he wishes that it were.
Andre Malraux
