Creative Quotations from . . .

Andre Malraux
(1901-1976) born on Nov 03

French "novelist, art historian, public official". "He was a hero of French Resistance during WW II and wrote "The Voices of Silence," 1951."

The crucial discovery was made that, in order to become painting, the universe seen by the artist had to become a private one created by himself."

"Man is not what he thinks he is, he is what he hides."

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

"Genius is not perfected, it is deepened. It does not so much interpret the world as fertilize itself with it."

"Be careful, -- with quotations you can damn anything."
