Anatole France

Anatole France
We thank God for having created this world, and praise Him for having made another, quite different one, where the wrongs of this one are corrected.
Anatole France
Devout believers are safeguarded in a high degree against the risk of certain neurotic illnesses their acceptance of the universal neurosis spares them the task of constructing a personal one.
