More quotes by Andre Maurois
A marriage without conflicts is almost as inconceivable as a nation without crises.
Andre Maurois
I knew a man who had been virtually drowned and then revived. He said that his death had not been painful.
Andre Maurois
Modesty and unselfishness - these are the virtues which men praise - and pass by.
Andre Maurois
The clear and simple words of common usage are always better than those of erudition. The jargon of the philosophers not seldom conceals an absence of thought.
Andre Maurois
An unsatisfied woman requires luxury, but a woman who is in love with a man will lie on a board.
Andre Maurois
Style is the hallmark of a temperament stamped upon the material at hand.
Andre Maurois
People are discontent men are troubled and the literature is excellent.
Andre Maurois
It is better to teach a few things perfectly than many things indifferently...
Andre Maurois
Like a bird, when his cage is opened, stays on his perch, dazzled by freedom, the postponed traveler does not see that his cage, with its bars of anxiety, it is open.
Andre Maurois
To reason with poorly chosen words is like using a pair of scales with inaccurate weights.
Andre Maurois
Memory is a great artist. For every man and for every woman it makes the recollection of his or her life a work of art and an unfaithful record.
Andre Maurois
People are what you make them. A scornful look turns into a complete fool a man of average intelligence. A contemptuous indifference turns into an enemy a woman who, well treated, might have been an angel.
Andre Maurois
The reading of a fine book is an uninterrupted dialogue in which the book speaks and our soul replies.
Andre Maurois
Growing old is no more than a bad habit which a busy person has no time to form.
Andre Maurois
To feminine eyes a man's prestige, or his fame, envelops him in a luminous haze which obscures his faults. The triumphs of an aviator, an actor, a football player, an orator are often responsible for the beginning of a love affair.
Andre Maurois
Style is the outcome of constraint.
Andre Maurois
A happy marriage is a long conversation which always seems too short.
Andre Maurois
A true woman loves a strong man because she knows his weaknesses. She protects as much as she is protected.
Andre Maurois
Everything that is in agreement with our personal desires seems true everything that is not puts us in a rage.
Andre Maurois
The need to express one's self in writing springs from a maladjustment of life, or from an inner conflict which the adolescent (or the grown man) cannot resolve in action.
Andre Maurois
