I advise the young to tell themselves constantly that most often it is up to them alone.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

They establish distinctions and reserves which I cannot apply to myself, for I exist only as a whole; my only claim is to be natural, and the pleasure I feel in an action, I take as a sign that I ought to do it.

Man! The most complex of creatures, and for this reason the most dependant of creatures. On everything that has formed you, you may depend. Do not balk at this apparent slavery....a debtor to many, you pay for your advantages by the same number of dependencies. Understand that independence is a form of poverty; that many things claim you, that many also claim kinship with you.

True kindness presupposes the ...

True kindness presupposes the faculty of imagining as one's own the suffering and joys of others.

Of some forty families I have been able to observe, I know hardly four in which the parents do not act in such a way that nothing would be more desirable for the child than to escape their influence.

Money cannot buy happiness, but it can make you awfully comfortable while you're being miserable. Nothing prevents happiness like the memory of happiness.

I prefer granting with a good grace what I know I shan't be able to prevent.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

No encounter occured that day, and I was glad of it; I took out of my pocket a little Homer I had not opened since leaving Marseilles, reread three lines of the Odyssey, learned them by heart; then, finding sufficient sustenance in their rhythm and reveling in them at leisure, I closed the book and remained, trembling, more alive than I had thought possible, my mind numb with happiness.

Every instant of our lives is essentially irreplaceable: you must know this in order to concentrate on life.

It is with fine sentiments that bad literature is made. Descend to the bottom of the well if you wish to see the stars.

Understand that the only possession of any value is life.

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

Andre Gide 316 quotes

Mozart's joy is made of serenity, and a phrase of his music is like a calm thought; his simplicity is merely purity. It is a crystalline thing in which all the emotions play a role, but as if already celestially transposed. Moderation consists in feeling emotions as the angels do.
