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

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 have no use for knowledge that has not been preceded by a sensation

Andre Gide 316 quotes

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

One should want only one thing and want it constantly. Then one is sure of getting it. But I desire everything, and consequently get nothing.

Solitude is bearable only with God.

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

Laws and rules of conduct are...

Laws and rules of conduct are for the state of childhood; education is an emancipation.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

Man! The most complex of crea...

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.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

The bad novelist constructs his characters; he directs them and makes them speak. The true novelist listens to them and watches them act; he hears their voices even before he knows them.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

It is better to fail at your own life than to succeed at someone else's.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

Most often people seek in life occasions for persisting in their opinions rather than for educating themselves.

He who wants a rose must respect her thorn.

I can't expect others to share my virtues. It's good enough for me if they share my vices.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

Christianity, above all, consoles; but there are naturally happy souls who do not need consolation. Consequently Christianity begins by making such souls unhappy, for otherwise it would have no power over them.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

One doesn't discover new lands without consenting to lose sight, for a very long time, of the shore.

By the time a philospher answers a question weve usually forgotten what was asked.

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

How do you know that the fruit is ripe? Simply because it leaves the branch.
