Andre Malraux

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
To love a painting is to feel that this presence is ... not an object but a voice.
Andre Malraux
Culture is the sum of all the forms of art, of love, and of thought, which, in the coarse or centuries, have enabled man to be less enslaved
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
