More quotes by André Gide
To know how to free oneself is nothing; the arduous thing is to know what to do with one's freedom.
There are many things that seem impossible only so long as one does not attempt them.
The sole art that suits me is that which, rising from unrest, tends toward serenity.
There is no feeling so simple that it is not immediately complicated and distorted by introspection.
