More quotes by Andre Malraux
The truth about a man lies first and foremost in what he hides.
Andre Malraux
An artist discovers his genius the day he dares not to please.
Andre Malraux
The basic problem is that our civilization, which is a civilization of machines, can teach man everything except how to be a man.
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
Seldom is a Gothic head more beautiful than when broken.
Andre Malraux
Often the difference between a successful person and a failure is not one has better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on one's ideas, to take a calculated risk - and to act.
Andre Malraux
The world of art is not a world of immortality but of metamorphosis.
Andre Malraux
In a world in which everything is subject to the passing of time, art alone is both subject to time and yet victorious over it.
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
If you can't make art, make your life a work of art.
Andre Malraux
In art, we are the first heirs of all the earth. . . . Accidents impair and Time transforms, but it is we who choose.
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
Since 1789 history has had a new perspective, revolution being a successful revolt, and revolt a revolution that has failed.
Andre Malraux
The truth of a man is first and foremost what he hides.
Andre Malraux
If man is not ready to risk his life, where is his dignity?
Andre Malraux
There's no such thing as a grown up person.
Andre Malraux
Every great masterpiece is a purification of the world.
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
Athirst for personal salvation, the West forgets that many religions had but a vague notion of the life beyond the grave true, all great religions stake a claim on eternity, but not necessarily on man's eternal life.
Andre Malraux
Nothing is harder than to get people to think about what they are going to do.
Andre Malraux
