More quotes by Andre Malraux
Youth is a religion from which one always ends up being converted.
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

Andre Malraux

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
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
If you can't make art, make your life a work of art.
Andre Malraux
The twenty-first century will be spiritual or it will not be.
Andre Malraux
The truth of a man is first and foremost what he hides.
Andre Malraux
If man is not ready to risk his life, where is his dignity?
Andre Malraux
What is Man? A miserable little pile of secrets.
Andre Malraux
He who has dreamed for long resembles his dream.
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
Communism destroys democracy. Democracy can also destroy Communism.
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
