More quotes by Anatole France
For every monarchy overthrown the sky becomes less brilliant, because it loses a star. A republic is ugliness set free.
Anatole France
To imagine is everything, to know is nothing at all.
Anatole France
We chase dreams and embrace shadows.
Anatole France

Anatole France
Lack of understanding is a great power. Sometimes it enables men to conquer the world.
Anatole France

Anatole France
You become a good writer just as you become a good joiner: by planing down your sentences.
Anatole France
It is almost impossible systematically to constitute a natural moral law. Nature has no principles. She furnishes us with no reason to believe that human life is to be respected. Nature, in her indifference, makes no distinction between good and evil.
Anatole France
In order that knowledge be properly digested it must have been swallowed with a good appetite.
Anatole France
Ignorance and error are necessary to life, like bread and water.
Anatole France
Good angels are fallible ... they sin every day and fall from Heaven like flies.
Anatole France
There is only one science, love, one riches, love, only one policy, love. To make love is all the law and the prophets.
