If you can't make art, make your life a work of art.
Andre Malraux
Seldom is a Gothic head more beautiful than when broken.
Andre Malraux
Communism destroys democracy. Democracy can also destroy Communism.
Andre Malraux
Christ...an anarchist who succeeded. That's all.
Andre Malraux
To love a painting is to feel that this presence is ... not an object but a voice.
Andre Malraux
He who has dreamed for long resembles his dream.
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
The only domain where the divine is visible is that of art, whatever name we choose to call it.
Andre Malraux
In the realm of human destiny, the depth of man's questionings is more important than his answers.
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
If man is not ready to risk his life, where is his dignity?
Andre Malraux
Opium teaches only one thing, which is that aside from physical suffering, there is nothing real.
Andre Malraux
There's no such thing as a grown up person.
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
Man knows that the world is not made on a human scale and he wishes that it were.
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
One cannot create an art that speaks to men when one has nothing to say.
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 mind supplies the idea of a nation, but what gives this idea its sentimental force is a community of dreams.
Andre Malraux
A political leader is necessarily an imposter since he believes in solving life's problems without asking its question.
Andre Malraux
