நீ, தொலைதூரமுற்றாய் என
நான் நினைத்தேன் -
இக்கணம் என் வாசலில் நின்றிருக்கிறாய்.

என்னைப் பார்-
நீ என்னிலிருந்து அகன்ற தருணமுதல்
நானும்கூட வாழ்வாகவும் மரணமாகவும் மாறியுள்ளேன்.
மாய்ந்த மழலையை
நான் பூமியுள் கிடத்தியிருக்கிறேன்,
உயிர்த்திருக்கும் ஒன்றை
நான் மறைத்தொளித்திருக்கிறேன்.


நீ திரும்பிவரும்போது
மேஜையில் அமைய நான் சமைத்தவையெல்லாம்
இப்போது விரிசலடைந்துள்ளது,
இனி என்னால் மின்சார ஒளியை பெறவியலாது-

ஆயினும் வந்து புசி ,
ஒளிவிஞ்சியிருக்கும் மேஜைத்துணி மேல்,
அந்திமங்கும் வேளையில்
சூரியன் வீடுமுழுமையையும் ஒளிவண்ணமாக்குகிறது.

எப்பொழுதும்,
அந்திமங்கும் வேளையில்
ஐந்து வருடங்களுக்குமுன் கண்டதை போலவே
உன்னைக் காண்கிறேன்,
விடுத்து போகும் எத்தனிப்பும்,
என்னிடமே மீண்டும் சங்கமிக்கும் ஆவலுறலும்,
ஒருதனித்த காலடி-பாவுதலில் நிகழ்கிறது.
சற்றுமுன்புதான் மரித்த மழலையைப் புதைத்தோம்
ஆனால், நீ அறிந்திராத
உயிர்த்திருக்கும் மழைலையை
நான் இன்னமும் மறைவாய் ஒளித்திருக்கிறேன்.

If you know the first word,
Then you understand the last word;
The last and the first-
Are they not this one word?

Deshan Zen Master.

Man is not
what he thinks he is,
he is what he hides.

-André Malraux-







What is Man?
A miserable little pile of secrets.

-André Malraux-








Just as a musician
loves music and not nightingales,
and a poet loves
poetry and not sunsets,
a painter is not primarily
a person who responds
to figures and landscapes.


He is primarily one who loves pictures.

-Andre Malraux-



Youth is a religion
from which one always
ends up being converted.

-Andre Malraux -


Communism destroys democracy.

Democracy
can also destroy Communism.

You can only make art
that talks to the masses,
when you have nothing to say to them.

-Andre Malraux-





To love a painting
is to feel that this presence is... ....
not an object
but a voice......................


-Andre Malraux-






I don't argue with my enemies;
I explain to their children.

-André Malraux-



Then I despair...
I remember that all through history,
the way of truth and love has always won.

There have been murderers and tyrants,
and for a time they can seem invincible.


But in the end they always fall. Think of it always.

-Andre Malraux-





An artist discovers his genius
the day
he dares not to please.

-Andre Malraux-




Always,
however brutal an age
may actually have been,
its style transmits its music only.


-Andre Malraux-






I seek the crucial region
of the soul
where absolute Evil and fraternity clash.

-André Malraux-




I've been very near death.

And you can't imagine the wild elation
of those moments-
it's the sudden glimpse
of the absurdity of life that brings it-
when one meets death face to face.


André Malraux-








Between eighteen and twenty,
life is like an exchange
where one buys stocks,
not with money, but with actions.


Most men buy nothing..................

-Andre Malraux-









The first duty of a leader
is to make himself be loved
without courting love.

To be loved without 'playing up' to anyone - even to himself.


-Andre Malraux-








Freedom is not an exchange —
it is freedom.

-Andre Malraux-






An art book
is
a museum without walls.............

-Andre Malraux-





The great mystery is not
that we should have been
thrown down here at random
between the profusion of matter
and that of the stars;
it is that from our very prison
we should draw,
from our own selves,
images powerful enough to deny our nothingness.



to take a calculated risk - and to act......................

Often the difference between
a successful person
and a failure is not
one has better abilities or ideas, but the courage that
one has to bet on one's ideas,
to take a calculated risk - and to act.


-Andre Malraux -
- Andre Malraux -




The crucial discovery was made that,
in order to become painting,
the universe seen by
the artist had to become a
private one created by himself..........


-Andre Malraux-





The men of my race
arrive on wingless,
eyeless ships.

-André Malraux-


The thrill of creation which we experience
which we experience
when we see a masterpiece
is not unlike the feeling
of the artist who created it;
such a work is a fragment of the world
which he has annexed
and which belongs to him alone.


-Andre Malraux -



Art is a revolt against fate.

All art is a revolt against man's fate.

-Andre Malraux




The attempt to force human beings
to despise themselves
is what I call hell.

-Andre Malraux-





War
puts its questions stupidly,
peace mysteriously.

-Andre Malraux-



The great mystery is not
that we should have been
thrown down here at random
between the profusion of matter
and that of the stars;
it is that from our very prison
we should draw,
from our own selves,
images powerful enough to deny our nothingness.


- Andre Malraux -In literature, as in Life,


one is often astonished
by what is chosen by others.............

-André Malraux-












Genius is not perfected,
it is deepened.

It does not so much interpret the world as fertilize itself with it.


-Andre Malraux-






Nothing is harder
than to get people to think about
what they are going to do.

-Andre Malraux -





Art is an object lesson
for
the gods.

-Andre Malraux-
