More quotes by Andre Maurois
Lost Illusion is the undisclosed title of every novel.
Andre Maurois
He who has found a good wife has found great happiness, but a quarrelsome woman is like a roof that lets in the rain.
Andre Maurois
You don't love a man for what he says, but love what he says because you love him.
Andre Maurois
It is better to teach a few things perfectly than many things indifferently...
Andre Maurois
A great biography should, like the close of a great drama, leave behind it a feeling of serenity. We collect into a small bunch the flowers, the few flowers, which brought sweetness into a life, and present it as an offering to an accomplished destiny. It is the dying refrain of a completed song, the final verse of a finished poem.
Andre Maurois
Medicine is a very old joke, but it still goes on.
Andre Maurois
The minds of different generations are as impenetrable one by the other as are the monads of Leibniz.
Andre Maurois
There are deserts in every life, and the desert must be depicted if we are to give a fair and complete idea of the country.
Andre Maurois
All of us, from time to time, need a plunge into freedom and novelty, after which routine and discipline will seem delightful by contrast.
Andre Maurois

Andre Maurois
Few are they who have never had a chance to achieve happiness- and fewer those who have taken that chance.
Andre Maurois
Style is the outcome of constraint.
Andre Maurois
Only passions can raise a man above the level of the animal.
Andre Maurois
To reason with poorly chosen words is like using a pair of scales with inaccurate weights.
Andre Maurois
Every ten years you should delete from your mind a few ideas that your experience has proven to be false.
Andre Maurois
We can talk frankly about our defects only to those who recognise our qualities.
Andre Maurois
In literature as in love, we are astonished at what is chosen by others.
Andre Maurois
The longer the road to love, the keener is the pleasure...
Andre Maurois
We console ourselves with several friends for not having found one real one.
Andre Maurois
To desire to be perpetually in the society of a pretty woman until the end of one's days, is as if, because one likes good wine, one wished always to have one's mouth full of it.
Andre Maurois
