More quotes by Andre Malraux
To love a painting is to feel that this presence is ... not an object but a voice.
Andre Malraux
Our art culture makes no attempt to search the past for precedents, but transforms the entire past into a sequence of provisional responses to a problem that remains intact.
Andre Malraux
A large share of our art heritage is now derived from peoples whose idea of art was quite other than ours, and even from peoples to whom the very idea of art meant nothing.
Andre Malraux
There's no such thing as a grown up person.
Andre Malraux
To command is to serve, nothing more and nothing less.
Andre Malraux
The truth about a man lies first and foremost in what he hides.
Andre Malraux
Always, however brutal an age may actually have been, its style transmits its music only.
Andre Malraux
The first duty of a leader is to make himself be loved without courting love. To be loved without 'playing up' to anyone - even to himself.
Andre Malraux
What is Man? A miserable little pile of secrets.
Andre Malraux
The artist is not the transcriber of the world, he is its rival.
Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux

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
Here, reality is not subordinated to painting, indeed painting seems the handmaid of reality, though we feel it tending towards a procedure which, while not at the mercy of appearances, is not yet in conflict with them.
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
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
Chanel, General De Gaulle and Picasso are the three most important figures of our time.
Andre Malraux
There is always a need for intoxication: China has opium, Islam has hashish, the West has woman.
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
