Andre Gide...22 November 1869 – 19 February 1951

* Be faithful to that which exists within yourself.

* Believe those who are seeking the truth. Doubt those who find it.

* Complete possession is proved only by giving. All you are unable to give possesses you.

* Fish die belly upward, and rise to the surface. Its their way of falling.

* It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for something you are not.

* It is easier to lead men to combat, stirring up their passion, than to restrain them and direct them toward the patient labors of peace.

* Sin is whatever obscures the soul.

* The color of truth is gray.

* Welcome anything that comes to you, but do not long for anything else.
