More quotes by Andre Maurois
Self-pity comes so naturally to all of us.
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
Everything that is in agreement with our personal desires seems true everything that is not puts us in a rage.
Andre Maurois
We appreciate frankness from those who like us. Frankness from others is called insolence.
Andre Maurois
Inspiration in matters of taste will not come twice.
Andre Maurois
It is often said that in prosperity we have many friends, but that we are usually neglected when things go badly. I disagree. Not only do malicious people flock about us in order to witness our ruin, but other unfortunates as well, who have been kept away by our happiness, and now feel close to us on account of our troubles.
Andre Maurois
Every ten years you should delete from your mind a few ideas that your experience has proven to be false.
Andre Maurois
Few are they who have never had a chance to achieve happiness- and fewer those who have taken that chance.
Andre Maurois
A man cannot free himself from the past more easily than he can from his own body.
Andre Maurois
If you create a character, you create a destiny.
Andre Maurois
In a discussion, the difficulty lies, not in being able to defend your opinion, but to know it.
Andre Maurois
Style is the hallmark of a temperament stamped upon the material at hand.
Andre Maurois
Almost all great writers have as their motif, more or less disguised, the passage from childhood to maturity, the clash between the thrill of expectation and the disillusioning knowledge of truth. 'Lost Illusion' is the undisclosed title of every novel.
Andre Maurois
Two human beings anchored to one another are like two ships shaken by waves their carcases collide with one another and creak.
Andre Maurois
The reading of a fine book is an uninterrupted dialogue in which the book speaks and our soul replies.
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
A marriage without conflicts is almost as inconceivable as a nation without crises.
Andre Maurois
Our minds have unbelievable power over our bodies.
Andre Maurois
An unsatisfied woman requires luxury, but a woman who is in love with a man will lie on a board.
Andre Maurois
When you become used to never being alone, you may consider yourself Americanised
Andre Maurois
