More quotes by Andre Malraux
If you can't make art, make your life a work of art.
Andre Malraux
Communism destroys democracy. Democracy can also destroy Communism.
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
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
Surely that little pseudo-gothic church on Broadway, hidden amongst the skyscrapers, is symbolic of the age! On the whole face of the globe the civilization that has conquered it has failed to build a temple or a tomb.
Andre Malraux
Between eigtheen and twenty, life is like an exchange where one buys stocks, not with money, but with actions. Most men buy nothing.
Andre Malraux
The only domain where the divine is visible is that of art, whatever name we choose to call it.
Andre Malraux
Genius is not perfected, it is deepened. It does not so much interpret the world as fertilize itself with it.
Andre Malraux
I don't argue with my enemies I explain to their children.
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
Opium teaches only one thing, which is that aside from physical suffering, there is nothing real.
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
If man is not ready to risk his life, where is his dignity?
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
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
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 artist discovers his genius the day he dares not to please.
Andre Malraux
To command is to serve, nothing more and nothing less.
Andre Malraux
Nothing is harder than to get people to think about what they are going to do.
Andre Malraux
