Anatole France
Only men who are not interested in women are interested in women's clothes. Men who like women never notice what they wear.
Anatole France
The power of love itself weakens and gradually becomes lost with age, like all the other energies of man.
Anatole France
Time deals gently only with those who take it gently.
Anatole France
