Andre Malraux
An art book is a museum without walls.
Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux

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
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
Always, however brutal an age may actually have been, its style transmits its music only.
Andre Malraux
The world of art is not a world of immortality but of metamorphosis.
Andre Malraux
To command is to serve, nothing more and nothing less.
Andre Malraux
Every creation is, at its root, the struggle between potential form and imitated form.
Andre Malraux
If you can't make art, make your life a work of art.
Andre Malraux
A political leader is necessarily an imposter since he believes in solving life's problems without asking its question.
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
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
To understand what the outside of an aquarium looks like, it's better not to be a fish.
Andre Malraux
The present age delights in unearthing a great man's secrets for one thing because we like to temper our admiration and also perhaps we have a vague hope of finding a clue to genius in such revelations.
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
History may clarify our understanding of the supreme work of art, but can never account for it completely for the Time of art is not the same as the Time of history.
Andre Malraux
