More quotes by Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux
To understand what the outside of an aquarium looks like, it's better not to be a fish.
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
You can only make art that talks to the masses when you have nothing to say to them.
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
Always, however brutal an age may actually have been, its style transmits its music only.
Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux
Athirst for personal salvation, the West forgets that many religions had but a vague notion of the life beyond the grave true, all great religions stake a claim on eternity, but not necessarily on man's eternal life.
Andre Malraux
To command is to serve, nothing more and nothing less.
Andre Malraux
One cannot create an art that speaks to men when one has nothing to say.
Andre Malraux
He who has dreamed for long resembles his dream.
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
Man knows that the world is not made on a human scale and he wishes that it were.
Andre Malraux
Since 1789 history has had a new perspective, revolution being a successful revolt, and revolt a revolution that has failed.
Andre Malraux
Man is not what he thinks he is, he is what he hides.
Andre Malraux
