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

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.

The truth is that as soon as we are no longer obliged to earn our living, we no longer know what to do with our life and recklessly squander it.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

Throw away my book: you must ...

Throw away my book: you must understand that it represents only one of a thousand attitudes. You must find your own. If someone else could have done something as well as you, don’t do it. If someone else could have said something as well as you, don’t say it—or written something as well as you, don’t write it. Grow fond only of that which you can find nowhere but in yourself, and create out of yourself, impatiently or patiently, ah! that most irreplaceable of beings.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

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

The color of truth is gray.

Most quarrels amplify a misunderstanding.

I owe much to my friends; but...

I owe much to my friends; but, all things considered, it strikes me that I owe even more to my enemies. The real person springs life under a sting even better than under a caress.

It is unthinkable for a Frenchman to arrive at middle age without having syphilis and the Cross of the Legion of Honor.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

No theory is good unless it permits, not rest, but the greatest work. No theory is good except on condition that one use it to go on beyond.

Art is the collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better.

In hell there is no other punishment than to begin over and over again the tasks left unfinished in your lifetime.
