More quotes by Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux
The mind supplies the idea of a nation, but what gives this idea its sentimental force is a community of dreams.
Andre Malraux
Christ...an anarchist who succeeded. That's all.
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
To love a painting is to feel that this presence is ... not an object but a voice.
Andre Malraux
The true painter strives to paint what can only be seen through his world.
Andre Malraux
If we cannot shape our destiny there as no such thing as witchcraft.
Andre Malraux
If you can't make art, make your life a work of art.
Andre Malraux
If man is not ready to risk his life, where is his dignity?
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
The only domain where the divine is visible is that of art, whatever name we choose to call it.
Andre Malraux
Always, however brutal an age may actually have been, its style transmits its music only.
Andre Malraux
I don't argue with my enemies I explain to their children.
Andre Malraux
The twenty-first century will be spiritual or it will not be.
Andre Malraux
The great mystery is not that we should have been thrown down here at random between the profusion of matter and that of the stars it is that from our very prison we should draw, from our own selves, images powerful enough to deny our own nothingness.
Andre Malraux
To command is to serve, nothing more and nothing less.
Andre Malraux
If modern painters feel qualms about applying the term masterpiece to describe a work of capital importance, this is because it has come to convey a notion of perfection: a notion that leads to much confusion when applied to artists other than those who made perfection their ideal.
Andre Malraux
One can fool life for a long time, but in the end it always makes us what we were intended to be.
Andre Malraux
What is Man? A miserable little pile of secrets.
Andre Malraux
Every great masterpiece is a purification of the world.
Andre Malraux
