More quotes by Andre Malraux
To understand what the outside of an aquarium looks like, it's better not to be a fish.
Andre Malraux
Every young man's heart is a graveyard in which are inscribed the names of a thousand dead artists but whose only actual denizens are a few mighty, often antagonistic, ghosts.
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
There are not fifty ways of fighting, there's only one, and that's to win. Neither revolution nor war consists in doing what one pleases.
Andre Malraux
Opium teaches only one thing, which is that aside from physical suffering, there is nothing real.
Andre Malraux
Always, however brutal an age may actually have been, its style transmits its music only.
Andre Malraux
The true painter strives to paint what can only be seen through his world.
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
Some pictures are in the gallery because they belong to humanity and others because they belong to the United States.
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
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
An artist discovers his genius the day he dares not to please.
Andre Malraux
All art is a revolt against man's fate.
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
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
One cannot create an art that speaks to men when one has nothing to say.
Andre Malraux
As for the outside world, the artist is confronted by what he sees but what he sees is primarily what he looks at.
Andre Malraux
The crucial discovery was made that, in order to become painting, the universe seen by the artist had to become a private one created by himself.
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
To love a painting is to feel that this presence is ... not an object but a voice.
Andre Malraux
