More quotes by Andre Maurois
Art is an effort to create, beside the real world, a more humane world.
Andre Maurois
Among the idle rich, boredom is one of the most common causes of unhappiness. People who have difficulty in earning their living may suffer greatly, but they are not bored. Wealthy men and women become bored when they depend upon the theater for their enjoyment instead of making their own lives interesting.
Andre Maurois
Happiness flourishes where there is happiness...
Andre Maurois
Love born of anxiety resembles a thorn shaped so that efforts to pull it out of one's flesh merely cause it to penetrate more deeply therein.
Andre Maurois
If you value a man's regard, strive with him. As to liking, you like your newspaper - and despise it.
Andre Maurois
British conversation is like a game of cricket or a boxing match personal allusions are forbidden like hitting below the belt, and anyone who loses his temper is disqualified.
Andre Maurois
Writing is a difficult trade which must be learned slowly by reading great authors by trying at the outset to imitate them by daring then to be original by destroying one's first productions.
Andre Maurois
You don't love a man for what he says, but love what he says because you love him.
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
If, in New York, you arrive late for an appointment, say, I took a taxi.
Andre Maurois
In literature as in love, we are astonished at what is chosen by others.
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
Above all things, never be afraid. The enemy who forces you to retreat is himself afraid of you at that very moment.
Andre Maurois
The greedy search for money or success will almost always lead men into unhappiness. Why? Because that kind of life makes them depend upon things outside themselves.
Andre Maurois
People are discontent men are troubled and the literature is excellent.
Andre Maurois
Lost Illusion is the undisclosed title of every novel.
Andre Maurois
A true woman loves a strong man because she knows his weaknesses. She protects as much as she is protected.
Andre Maurois
The really great novel tends to be the exact negative of its author's life.
Andre Maurois
The longer the road to love, the keener is the pleasure...
Andre Maurois
Marriage makes a man more vulnerable by doubling the expanse of sail exposed to the tempests of social life.
Andre Maurois
