Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux
In ceasing to subordinate creative power to any supreme value, modern art has brought home to us the presence of that creative power throughout the whole history of art.
Andre Malraux
Christ...an anarchist who succeeded. That's all.
Andre Malraux
The artist is not the transcriber of the world, he is its rival.
Andre Malraux
The thrill of creation which we experience which we experience when we see a masterpiece is not unlike the feeling of the artist who created it such a work is a fragment of the world which he has annexed and which belongs to him alone.
Andre Malraux
No one can endure his own solitude.
Andre Malraux
There is always a need for intoxication: China has opium, Islam has hashish, the West has woman.
