“I have my own virtue, which I am constantly cultivating and refining by teaching myself not to tolerate in me or my surroundings anything but the exquisite.”

Maurice in “Characters,” p. 298
Pretexts: Reflections on Literature and Morality (1964)
Kontext: In my present insistence on high standards you will see that there is less self-indulgence than resolve and application. I do not let the Christian monopolize the ideal of perfection. I have my own virtue, which I am constantly cultivating and refining by teaching myself not to tolerate in me or my surroundings anything but the exquisite.

“Trust those who seek the truth but doubt those who say they have found it.”

<!--from Gide's Journal 1939-1949-->
Varianta: Believe those who seek the truth, doubt those who find it

“Be faithful to that which exists nowhere but in yourself — and thus make yourself indispensable.”

Les Nourritures Terrestres (1897), Envoi
Varianta: Be faithful to that which exists within yourself.
Kontext: What another would have done as well as you, do not do it. What another would have said as well as you, do not say it; what another would have written as well, do not write it. Be faithful to that which exists nowhere but in yourself — and thus make yourself indispensable.

“Wisdom comes not from reason but from love.”

La sagesse n'est pas dans la raison, mais dans l'amour.
