More quotes by Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux
No one can endure his own solitude.
Andre Malraux
You can only make art that talks to the masses when you have nothing to say to them.
Andre Malraux
The artist is not the transcriber of the world, he is its rival.
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
Youth is a religion from which one always ends up being converted.
Andre Malraux
