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
Our civilization ... is not devaluing its awareness of the unknowable nor is it deifying it. It is the first civilization that has severed it from religion and superstition. In order to question it.
Andre Malraux
All art is a revolt against man's fate.
Andre Malraux
The truth of a man is first and foremost what he hides.
Andre Malraux
