More quotes by 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
No one can endure his own solitude.
Andre Malraux
History may clarify our understanding of the supreme work of art, but can never account for it completely for the Time of art is not the same as the Time of history.
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 artist is not the transcriber of the world, he is its rival.
Andre Malraux
And when man faces destiny, destiny ends and man comes into his own.
Andre Malraux
There's no such thing as a grown up person.
Andre Malraux
The truth about a man lies first and foremost in what he hides.
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
The crucial discovery was made that, in order to become painting, the universe seen by the artist had to become a private one created by himself.
Andre Malraux
Every great masterpiece is a purification of the world.
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
In the realm of human destiny, the depth of man's questionings is more important than his answers.
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
The most important thing in life is to see to it that you are never beaten.
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
To love a painting is to feel that this presence is ... not an object but a voice.
Andre Malraux
One cannot create an art that speaks to men when one has nothing to say.
Andre Malraux
Genius is not perfected, it is deepened. It does not so much interpret the world as fertilize itself with it.
Andre Malraux
Seldom is a Gothic head more beautiful than when broken.
Andre Malraux
