Do not do what someone else co...

Do not do what someone else could do as well as you. Do not say, do not write what someone else could say, could write as well as you. Care for nothing in yourself but what you feel exists nowhere else. And, out of yourself create, impatiently or patiently, the most irreplaceable of beings.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

Envying another man's happines...

Envying another man's happiness is madness; you wouldn't know what to do with it if you had it.

An unprejudiced mind is probably the rarest thing in the world; to nonprejudice I attach the greatest value.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

Then you think that one can keep a hopeless love in one's heart for so long as that?...And that life can breathe upon it every day, without extinguishing it?

Andre Gide 316 quotes

An artist cannot get along wit...

An artist cannot get along without a public; and when the public is absent, what does he do? He invents it, and turning his back on his age, he looks toward the future for what the present denies.

Families, I hate you! Shut-in homes, closed doors, jealous possessors of happiness

Andre Gide 316 quotes

Be faithful to that which exists nowhere but in yourself- and thus make yourself indispensable.

There are admirable potentialities in every human being.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

Our deeds attach themselves to us like the flame to phosphorus. They constitute our brilliance, to be sure, but only in so far as they consume us.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

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

Andre Gide 316 quotes

Man is extraordinarily clever ...

Man is extraordinarily clever in preventing himself from being happy; it would seem that the less able he is to endure misfortune the more apt he is to attach himself to it.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

The finest virtues can become ...

The finest virtues can become deformed with age. The precise mind becomes finicky; the thrifty man, miserly; the cautious man, timorous; the man of imagination, fanciful. Even perseverance ends up in a sort of stupidity. Just as, on the other hand, being too willing to understand too many opinions, too diverse ways of seeing, constancy is lost and the mind goes astray in a restless fickleness.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

Let every emotion be capable becoming an intoxication to you. If what you eat fails to make you drunk, it is because you are not hungry enough.

Often the best in us springs from the worst in us.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

There is no feeling so simple ...

There is no feeling so simple that it is not immediately complicated and distorted by introspection.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

actions whose motives he cannot understand that is, actions not prompted by the hope of profit.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

It seems to me that had I not ...

It seems to me that had I not known Dostoevsky or Nietzsche or Freud or X or Z, I should have thought just as I did, and that I found in them rather an authorization than an awakening. Above all, they taught me to cease doubting, to cease fearing my thoughts, and to let those thoughts lead me to those lands that were not uninhabitable because after all I found them already there .

Andre Gide 316 quotes

True intelligence very readily...

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