Man's responsibility increase...

Man's responsibility increases as that of the gods decreases.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

To understand is nothing, but...

To understand is nothing, but to be understood-that is the problem and the source of anguish. The soul throbs and would have the other know-but can not and feels isolated. Then come gestures, words, awkward explanations and material symbols for imponderable outbursts of feeling-and the soul despairs.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

'Therefore' is a word the poet...

'Therefore' is a word the poet must not know.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

They establish distinctions an...

They establish distinctions and reserves which I cannot apply to myself, for I exist only as a whole; my only claim is to be natural, and the pleasure I feel in an action, I take as a sign that I ought to do it.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

I advise the young to tell themselves constantly that most often it is up to them alone.

A man thinks he owns things, and it is he who is owned

He who wants a rose must respect her thorn.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

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

From the satisfaction of desir...

From the satisfaction of desire there may arise, accompanying joy and as it were sheltering behind it, something not unlike despair.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

True eloquence forgoes eloquence.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

The thing I am most aware of i...

The thing I am most aware of is my limits. And this is natural; for I never, or almost never, occupy the middle of my cage; my whole being surges toward the bars.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

Sadness is almost never anything but a form of fatigue.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

Chastity more rarely follows f...

Chastity more rarely follows fear, or a resolution, or a vow, than it is the mere effect of lack of appetite and, sometimes even, of distaste.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

I believe that in every circum...

I believe that in every circumstance I have been able to see rather clearly the most advantageous course I could follow, which is very rarely the one I did follow.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

The difficulty comes from this...

The difficulty comes from this, that Christianity (Christian orthodoxy) is exclusive and that belief in its truth excludes belief in any other truth. It does not absorb; it repulses.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

Christianity, above all, conso...

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

Too chaste an adolescence makes for a dissolute old age. It is doubtless easier to give up something one has known than something one imagines.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

The work of art is the exaggeration of an idea.

Andre Gide 316 quotes

Whither should we aim if not towards God?

Andre Gide 316 quotes

Pay attention only to the form...

Pay attention only to the form; emotion will come spontaneously to inhabit it. A perfect dwelling place always finds an inhabitant.
