Anatole France
Word-carpentry is like any other kind of carpentry: you must join your sentences smoothly.
Anatole France
To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream not only plan, but also believe.
Anatole France
There are no bad books any more than there are ugly women.
Anatole France
Our passions are ourselves.
Anatole France
The finest words in the world are only vain sounds if you can't understand them. The best sentence? The shortest.

Anatole France
A dictionary is merely the universe arranged in alphabetical order.
Anatole France

Anatole France
Existence would be intolerable if we were never to dream.
Anatole France
An education which does not cultivate the will is an education that depraves the mind.
Anatole France
In order that knowledge be properly digested it must have been swallowed with a good appetite.
Anatole France
Justice is the sanction of established injustice.
Anatole France
The first virtue of all really great men is that they are sincere. They eradicate hypocrisy from their hearts.
Anatole France
To imagine is everything, to know is nothing at all.
Anatole France
The whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening the natural curiosity of young minds for the purpose of satisfying it afterwards.
Anatole France
A woman without breasts is like a bed without pillows.
Anatole France
Do not try to satisfy your vanity by teaching a great many things. Awaken people's curiosity. It is enough to open minds do not overload them. Put there just a spark. If there is some good inflammable stuff, it will catch fire.
Anatole France
The books that everybody admires are those that nobody reads.
Anatole France
