More quotes by 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
There's no such thing as a grown up person.
Andre Malraux
Nothing is harder than to get people to think about what they are going to do.
Andre Malraux
Man knows that the world is not made on a human scale and he wishes that it were.
Andre Malraux
In the realm of human destiny, the depth of man's questionings is more important than his answers.
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
There are not fifty ways of fighting, there is only one: to be the conqueror.
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
I don't argue with my enemies I explain to their children.
Andre Malraux
If man is not ready to risk his life, where is his dignity?
Andre Malraux
Surely that little pseudo-gothic church on Broadway, hidden amongst the skyscrapers, is symbolic of the age! On the whole face of the globe the civilization that has conquered it has failed to build a temple or a tomb.
Andre Malraux
The world of art is not a world of immortality but of metamorphosis.
Andre Malraux
An artist discovers his genius the day he dares not to please.
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
And when man faces destiny, destiny ends and man comes into his own.
Andre Malraux
Man is not what he thinks he is, he is what he hides.
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
Between eigtheen and twenty, life is like an exchange where one buys stocks, not with money, but with actions. Most men buy nothing.
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
Some pictures are in the gallery because they belong to humanity and others because they belong to the United States.
Andre Malraux
