True eloquence forgoes eloquence.

Know thyself. A maxim as pernicious as it is ugly. Whoever studies himself arrest his own development. A caterpillar who seeks to know himself would never become a butterfly.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

Through loyalty to the past, ...

Through loyalty to the past, our mind refuses to realize that tomorrow's joy is possible only if today's makes way for it; that each wave owes the beauty of its line only to the withdrawal of the preceding one.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

Old hands soil, it seems, wha...

Old hands soil, it seems, whatever they caress, but they too have their beauty when they are joined in prayer. Young hands were made for caresses and the sheathing of love. It is a pity to make them join too soon.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

It is not always by plugging away at a difficulty and sticking to it that one overcomes it; often it is by working on the one next to it. Some things and some people have to be approached obliquely, at an angle.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

The most important things to ...

The most important things to say are those which often I did not think necessary for me to say - because they were too obvious.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

Man is more interesting than men. God made him and not them in his image. Each one is more precious than all.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

Believe those who are seeking the truth. Doubt those who find it.

The want of logic annoys. Too much logic bores. Life eludes logic, and everything that logic alone constructs remains artificial and forced.

To what a degree the same past can leave different marks - and especially admit of different interpretations.
