More quotes by Andre Malraux
Since 1789 history has had a new perspective, revolution being a successful revolt, and revolt a revolution that has failed.
Andre Malraux
The next century's task will be to rediscover its gods.
Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux
What is Man? A miserable little pile of secrets.
Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux
Be careful -- with quotations, you can damn anything.
Andre Malraux
In so far as he is a creator, the artist does not belong to a social group already moulded by a culture, but to a culture which he is by way of building up.
Andre Malraux
Surely that little pseudo-gothic church on Broadway, hidden amongst the skyscrapers, is symbolic of the age! On the whole face of the globe the civilization that has conquered it has failed to build a temple or a tomb.
Andre Malraux
Every great masterpiece is a purification of the world.
Andre Malraux
Between eigtheen and twenty, life is like an exchange where one buys stocks, not with money, but with actions. Most men buy nothing.
Andre Malraux
Christ...an anarchist who succeeded. That's all.
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
