André Gide Quote

From the satisfaction of desire there may arise, accompanying joy and as it were sheltering behind it, something not unlike despair.


The Counterfeitors (1925)


From the satisfaction of desire there may arise, accompanying joy and as it were sheltering behind it, something not unlike despair.

From the satisfaction of desire there may arise, accompanying joy and as it were sheltering behind it, something not unlike despair.

From the satisfaction of desire there may arise, accompanying joy and as it were sheltering behind it, something not unlike despair.

From the satisfaction of desire there may arise, accompanying joy and as it were sheltering behind it, something not unlike despair.
