♥ André Gide 150th Birthday ♥




❝ Le monde ne sera sauvé, s'il peut l'être, 
que par des insoumis. 

If it can be saved at all, the world will be saved by rebels.


 

❝ On ne découvre pas de terre nouvelle sans consentir à perdre de vue, d'abord et longtemps, tout rivage.

One doesn't discover new lands without consenting to lose sight, for a very long time, of the shore.



❝ Croyez ceux qui cherchent la vérité, doutez de ceux 
qui la trouvent.

Believe those who are seeking truth, doubt those who find it.


- André Gide -

November 22, 1869 - February 19, 1951

Largest Sentence Commutation in US History: Nearly 500 Inmates Walk Free After Oklahoma Voters Demand Reform

by Ahmad Shamlou

I am not a story you can narrate

I am not a sound you can hear
Nor something you can see
Nor such that you can know

I am the common pain
Cry me out.
