Andre Gide Quotes About Character

Quotes about: Character

• So long as we live among men, let us cherish humanity.

  Andre Gide

  Inspirational, Honesty, Integrity

• I would like the events never to be told directly by the author, but rather to be introduced (and several times, from various angles) by those among the characters on whom they will have had any effect. I would like those events, in the account they will make of them, to appear slightly distorted; a kind of interest stems, for the reader, from the simple fact that he should need to restore. The story requires his collaboration in order to properly take shape.

  Andre Gide

  Reading, Character, Simple

• The bad novelist constructs his characters; he directs them and makes them speak. The true novelist listens to them and watches them act; he hears their voices even before he knows them.
