More quotes by Anatole France
It is better to understand little than to misunderstand a lot.
Anatole France
The first virtue of all really great men is that they are sincere. They eradicate hypocrisy from their hearts.
Anatole France
Innocence most often is a good fortune and not a virtue.
Anatole France
In art as in love, instinct is enough.
Anatole France
The Future is hidden even from those who are forging it.
Anatole France
It is not customary to love what one has.
Anatole France
The Kingdom of Heaven is a military autocracy and there is no public opinion in it.
Anatole France
Ugly women may be naturally quite as capricious as pretty ones but as they are never petted and spoiled, and as no allowances are made for them, they soon find themselves obliged either to suppress their whims or to hide them.
Anatole France
The duty of literature is to note what counts, and to light up what is suited to the light. If it ceases to choose and to love, it becomes like a woman who gives herself without preference.
Anatole France
Dog! When we first met on the highway of life, we came from the two poles of creation.... What can be the meaning of the obscure love for me that has sprung up in your heart?
Anatole France
It is by acts, and not by ideas, that people ensure the bar down the street cannot have a patio.
Anatole France
Of all the ways of defining man, the worst is the one which makes him out to be a rational animal.
Anatole France
Until you have loved an animal, part of your soul will have remained dormant.
Anatole France
God, conquered, will become Satan Satan, conquering, will become God. May the fates spare me this terrible lot I love the Hell which formed my genius. I love the Earth where I have done some good, if it be possible to do any good in this fearful world where beings live but by rapine.
Anatole France
A person is never happy except at the price of some ignorance. [The ability to focus on positives and distract your mind from negatives for at least a time is a necessary skill for being happy.]
Anatole France
Of all earthly creatures, humans alone have the power to choose. One must never lose time in vainly regretting the past nor in complaining about the changes which cause us discomfort, for change is the very essence of life.
Anatole France
One thing above all gives charm to men's thoughts, and this is unrest. A mind that is not uneasy irritates and bores me.
Anatole France
History books that contain no lies are extremely dull.
Anatole France
Of all the sexual aberrations, chastity is the strangest.
Anatole France
For the majority of people , though they do not know what to do with this life , long for another that shall have no end .
