More quotes by Andre Malraux
Every young man's heart is a graveyard in which are inscribed the names of a thousand dead artists but whose only actual denizens are a few mighty, often antagonistic, ghosts.
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 truth of a man is first and foremost what he hides.
Andre Malraux
The terrible thing about death is that it transforms life into destiny.
Andre Malraux
As for the outside world, the artist is confronted by what he sees but what he sees is primarily what he looks at.
Andre Malraux
Nothing is harder than to get people to think about what they are going to do.
Andre Malraux
If we cannot shape our destiny there as no such thing as witchcraft.
Andre Malraux
In ceasing to subordinate creative power to any supreme value, modern art has brought home to us the presence of that creative power throughout the whole history of art.
Andre Malraux
Just as a musician loves music and not nightingales, and a poet loves poetry and not sunsets, a painter is not primarily a person who responds to figures and landscapes. He is primarily one who loves pictures.
Andre Malraux
Man is not what he thinks he is, he is what he hides.
Andre Malraux
Communism destroys democracy. Democracy can also destroy Communism.
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
Genius is not perfected, it is deepened. It does not so much interpret the world as fertilize itself with it.
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
The world of art is not a world of immortality but of metamorphosis.
Andre Malraux
Our art culture makes no attempt to search the past for precedents, but transforms the entire past into a sequence of provisional responses to a problem that remains intact.
Andre Malraux
I don't argue with my enemies I explain to their children.
Andre Malraux
No one can endure his own solitude.
Andre Malraux
A political leader is necessarily an imposter since he believes in solving life's problems without asking its question.
Andre Malraux
Chanel, General De Gaulle and Picasso are the three most important figures of our time.
Andre Malraux
