Culture is the sum of all the forms of art, of love, and of thought, which, in the coarse or centuries, have enabled man to be less enslaved

Andre Malraux 93 quotes

The great Christian art did n...

The great Christian art did not die because all possible forms had been used up; it died because faith was being transformed into piety. Now, the same conquest of the outside world that brought in our modern individualism, so different from that of the Renaissance, is by way of relativizing the individual. It is plain to see that man's faculty of transformation, which began by a remaking of the natural world, has ended by calling man himself into question.

The great mystery is not that we should have been thrown down here at random between the profusion of matter and that of the stars; it is that from our very prison we should draw, from our own selves, images powerful enough to deny our own nothingness.

Andre Malraux 93 quotes

Every creation is, at its root, the struggle between potential form and imitated form.

Between eigtheen and twenty, life is like an exchange where one buys stocks, not with money, but with actions. Most men buy nothing.

No one can endure his own solitude.

All art is a revolt against man's fate.

Just as a musician loves musi...

Just as a musician loves music and not nightingales, and a poet loves poetry and not sunsets, a painter is not primarily a person who responds to figures and landscapes. He is primarily one who loves pictures.

Andre Malraux 93 quotes

The mind supplies the idea of a nation, but what gives this idea its sentimental force is a community of dreams.

Andre Malraux 93 quotes

History may clarify our understanding of the supreme work of art, but can never account for it completely; for the Time of art is not the same as the Time of history.

What is Man? A miserable little pile of secrets.

He who has dreamed for long resembles his dream.

Christ...an anarchist who succeeded. That's all.

Though man's feeling for the other-worldly often has recourse to solitude, solitude does not foster its development; rather, it is nourished by communion, to which the church is more propitious than the cemetery.

Andre Malraux 93 quotes

In the course of history, all empires have been created with premeditation, by an effort often sustained over several generations. Every power has been Roman to a degree. The United States is the first nation to become the most powerful in the world without having sought to be so. Its exceptional energy and organization have never been oriented toward conquest.

One cannot create an art that speaks to men when one has nothing to say.

The truth about a man lies first and foremost in what he hides.

Here, reality is not subordinated to painting, indeed painting seems the handmaid of reality, though we feel it tending towards a procedure which, while not at the mercy of appearances, is not yet in conflict with them.

Andre Malraux 93 quotes

Some pictures are in the gallery because they belong to humanity and others because they belong to the United States.

Andre Malraux 93 quotes

An individualism which has got beyond the stage of hedonism tends to yield to the lure of the grandiose. It was not man, the individual, nor even the Supreme Being, that Robespierre set up against Christ; it was that Leviathan, the Nation.
