More quotes by Romain Rolland
You are a vain fellow. You want to be a hero. That is why you do such silly things. A hero!... I don't quite know what that is: but, you see, I imagine that a hero is a man who does what he can. The others do not do it.
Romain Rolland
It is the artist's business to create sunshine when the sun fails.
Romain Rolland
The artist is the compass which, through the raging of the storm, points steadily to the north.
Romain Rolland
There is only one necessary condition for the emergence of a new theatre, that the stage and auditorium should be open to the masses, should be able to contain a people and the actions of a people.
Romain Rolland
A great nation assailed by war has not only its frontiers to protect: it must also protect its good sense. It must protect itself from the hallucinations, injustices, and follies which the plague lets loose.
Romain Rolland
I find war detestable but those who praise it without participating in it even more so.
Romain Rolland
There are some dead who are more alive than the living.
Romain Rolland
The more a man lives, the more a man creates, the more a man loves and loses those whom he loves, the more does he escape from death. With every new blow that we have to bear, with every new work that we round and finish, we escape from ourselves, we escape into the work we have created, the soul we have loved, the soul that has left us.
Romain Rolland
If a man is to shed the light of the sun upon other men, he must first of all have it within himself.
Romain Rolland
One day History will pass judgment on each of the nations at war she will weigh their measure of errors, lies, and heinous follies. Let us try to make ours light before her!
Romain Rolland
Everyone, deep down within, carries a small cemetery of those he has loved.
Romain Rolland
History furnishes to politics all the arguments that it needs, for the chosen cause.
Romain Rolland
Every race, every art has its hypocrisy. The world is fed with a little truth and many lies.
Romain Rolland
Mozart was able to do what he wished in music and he never wished to so what was beyond him.
Romain Rolland
The theatre, like the fresco, is art fitted to its place. And therefore it is above all else the human art, the living art.
Romain Rolland
No one ever reads a book. He reads himself through books.
Romain Rolland
You want to be a hero. That is why you do such silly things.
Romain Rolland
Each man must learn his own ideal and try to accomplish it: that is a surer way of progress than to take the ideas of another.
Romain Rolland
A hero is a man who does what he can.
Romain Rolland
To understand everything is to hate nothing.
Romain Rolland
