Andre Gide(1869 – 1951) Full name: André Paul Guillaume Gide. A French author, novelist, essayist and winner of the Nobel Prize in literature. Believe those who are seeking the truth. Doubt those who find it. Great authors are admirable in this respect: in every generation they make for disagreement. Through them we become aware of our differences. It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for something you are not. Nothing is so silly as the expression of a man who is being complimented. Only those things are beautiful which are inspired by madness and written by reason. The most decisive actions of life are most often unconsidered actions. The most important things to say are those which often I did not think necessary for me to say - because they were too obvious. |
