Andre Malraux
The true painter strives to paint what can only be seen through his world.
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
A break in the established order is never the work of chance. It is the outcome of a man's resolve to turn life to account.
Andre Malraux
There are not fifty ways of fighting, there is only one: to be the conqueror.
Andre Malraux
The only domain where the divine is visible is that of art, whatever name we choose to call it.
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
