Faith can move mountains; true: mountains of stupidity.

It is the special quality of love not to be able to remain stationary, to be obliged to increase under pain of diminishing.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

In order to be utterly happy ...

In order to be utterly happy the only thing necessary is to refrain from comparing this moment with other moments in the past, which I often did not fully enjoy because I was comparing them with other moments of the future.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

But can one still make resolu...

But can one still make resolutions when one is over forty? I live according to twenty-year-old habits.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

The most decisive actions of ...

The most decisive actions of our life - I mean those that are most likely to decide the whole course of our future - are, more often than not, unconsidered.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

Know that joy is rarer, more ...

Know that joy is rarer, more difficult, and more beautiful than sadness. Once you make this all-important discovery, you must embrace joy as a moral obligation.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

When everything belongs to everyone, nobody will take care of anything.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

We should enjoy this summer, ...

We should enjoy this summer, flower by flower, as if it were to be the last one we’ll see.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

We call "happiness" a certain...

We call "happiness" a certain set of circumstances that makes joy possible. But we call joy that state of mind and emotions that needs nothing to feel happy.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

What seems different in yours...

What seems different in yourself; that's the rare thing you possess. The one thing that gives each of us his worth, and that's just what we try to suppress. And we claim to love life.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

It is one of life's laws that as soon as one door closes another opens. But the tragedy is we look at the closed door and disregard the open one.

Sadness is almost never anything but a form of fatigue.

True eloquence forgoes eloquence.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

A desire for truth is by no means a need for certitude and it would be unwise to confuse one with the other.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

The scholar seeks truth, the ...

The scholar seeks truth, the artist finds.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

The thing I am most aware of ...

The thing I am most aware of is my limits. And this is natural; for I never, or almost never, occupy the middle of my cage; my whole being surges toward the bars.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

When I cease to be indignant ...

When I cease to be indignant I will have begun my old age.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

True intelligence very readily conceives of an intelligence superior to its own; and this is why truly intelligent men are modest.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

Believe those who seek the truth, doubt those who find it; doubt all, but do not doubt yourself.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

Yet I'm sure there's somethin...

Yet I'm sure there's something more to be read in a man. People dare not -- they dare not turn the page. The laws of mimicry -- I call them the laws of fear. People are afraid to find themselves alone, and don't find themselves at all. I hate this moral agoraphobia -- it's the worst kind of cowardice. You can't create something without being alone. But who's trying to create here? What seems different in yourself: that's the one rare thing you possess, the one thing which gives each of us his worth; and that's just what we try to suppress. We imitate. And we claim to love life.
