More quotes by Andre Malraux
The twenty-first century will be spiritual or it will not be.
Andre Malraux
All art is a revolt against man's fate.
Andre Malraux
Our civilization ... is not devaluing its awareness of the unknowable nor is it deifying it. It is the first civilization that has severed it from religion and superstition. In order to question it.
Andre Malraux
To command is to serve, nothing more and nothing less.
Andre Malraux
And when man faces destiny, destiny ends and man comes into his own.
Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux
One cannot create an art that speaks to men when one has nothing to say.
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

Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux
I don't argue with my enemies I explain to their children.
Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux
Man knows that the world is not made on a human scale and he wishes that it were.
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
If we cannot shape our destiny there as no such thing as witchcraft.
Andre Malraux
The artist is not the transcriber of the world, he is its rival.
Andre Malraux
The world of art is not a world of immortality but of metamorphosis.
Andre Malraux
In a world in which everything is subject to the passing of time, art alone is both subject to time and yet victorious over it.
Andre Malraux
The terrible thing about death is that it transforms life into destiny.
Andre Malraux
