Anatole France
Without the Utopians of other times, men would still live in caves, miserable and naked. It was Utopians who traced the lines of the first City.....Out of generous dreams come beneficial realities. Utopia is the principle of all progress, and the essay into a better future.
Anatole France
Our passions are ourselves.
Anatole France
Man is so made that he can only find relaxation from one kind of labor by taking up another.
