Andre Gide Quotes
The Secret Seemed To Me Much More Mysterious Than That; It Was The Secret, I Thought, Of One Who Had Known Death; For I Moved A Stranger Among Ordinary People, Like A Man Who Has Risen From The Grave, And At First I Merely Felt Rather Painfully Out Of My Element; But Soon I Became Aware Of A Very Different Feeling.
Was It Pride Now? Perhaps; But At Any Rate There Was No Trace Of Vanity Mixed With It. It Was Rather, For The First Time, The Consciousness Of My Own Worth. What Separated Me - Distinguished Me - From Other People Was Crucial; What No One Said, What No One Could Say But Myself, That Was My Task To Say.
