It is only through restraint ...

It is only through restraint that man can manage not to suppress himself.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

Let every emotion be capable ...

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.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

To be sure, theory is useful....

To be sure, theory is useful. But without warmth of heart and without love it bruises the very ones it claims to save.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

In other people's company I f...

In other people's company I felt I was dull, gloomy, unwelcome, at once bored and boring.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

Of some forty families I have...

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.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

When you have nothing to say,...

When you have nothing to say, or to hide, there is no need to be prudent.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

No encounter occured that day...

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.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

The most subtle art, the stro...

The most subtle art, the strongest and deepest art - supreme art - is the one that does not at first allow itself to be recognized.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

The very act of sacrifice mag...

The very act of sacrifice magnifies the one who sacrifices himself to the point where his sacrifice is much more costly to humanity than would have been the loss of those for whom he is sacrificing himself. But in his abnegation lies the secret of his grandeur.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

The young people who come to ...

The young people who come to me in the hope of hearing me utter a few memorable maxims are quite disappointed. Aphorisms are not my forte, I say nothing but banalities.... I listen to them and they go away delighted.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

The world will be saved by on...

The world will be saved by one or two people.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

If life were organized, there would be no need for art.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

Our deeds attach themselves t...

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

The novelist does not long to...

The novelist does not long to see the lion eat grass. He realizes that one and the same God created the wolf and the lamb, then smiled, “seeing that his work was good.”

Andre Gide 316 quotes

Do not do what someone else c...

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

Whither should we aim if not ...

Whither should we aim if not towards God?

Andre Gide 316 quotes

Pay attention only to the for...

Pay attention only to the form; emotion will come spontaneously to inhabit it. A perfect dwelling always finds an inhabitant. The artist's business is to build the dwelling; as for the inhabitant, it is up to the reader to provide him.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

In order to judge properly, o...

In order to judge properly, one must get away somewhat from what one is judging, after having loved it. This is true of countries, of persons, and of oneself.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

The pettiness of a mind can b...

The pettiness of a mind can be measured by the pettiness of its adoration or its blasphemy.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

Our judgements about things v...

Our judgements about things vary according to the time left us to live -that we think is left us to live.
