- André Gide
"It is not always by plugging away at a difficulty and sticking to it that one overcomes it; often it is by working on the one next to it. Some things and some people have to be approached obliquely, at an angle."
- André Gide
"Complete possession is proved only by giving. All you are unable to give possesses you."
- André Gide
"There are many things that seem impossible only so long as one does not attempt them."
- André Gide
"It is only in adventure that some people succeed in knowing themselves - in finding themselves."
- André Gide
