More quotes by Andre Malraux
The most important thing in life is to see to it that you are never beaten.
Andre Malraux
In art, we are the first heirs of all the earth. . . . Accidents impair and Time transforms, but it is we who choose.
Andre Malraux
Always, however brutal an age may actually have been, its style transmits its music only.
Andre Malraux
There are not fifty ways of fighting, there is only one: to be the conqueror.
Andre Malraux
To love a painting is to feel that this presence is ... not an object but a voice.
Andre Malraux
Genius is not perfected, it is deepened. It does not so much interpret the world as fertilize itself with it.
Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux
The truth about a man lies first and foremost in what he hides.
Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux
The world of art is not a world of immortality but of metamorphosis.
Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux
If man is not ready to risk his life, where is his dignity?
Andre Malraux
Here, reality is not subordinated to painting, indeed painting seems the handmaid of reality, though we feel it tending towards a procedure which, while not at the mercy of appearances, is not yet in conflict with them.
Andre Malraux
War puts its questions stupidly, peace mysteriously.
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 twenty-first century will be spiritual or it will not be.
Andre Malraux
Chanel, General De Gaulle and Picasso are the three most important figures of our time.
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
