More quotes by Anatole France
Change is the essence of life.
Anatole France
Truth possesses within herself a penetrating force, unknown alike to error and falsehood. I say 'truth' and you understand my meaning. For the beautiful words truth and justice need not to be defined in order to be understood in their true sense.
Anatole France
The dog is a religious animal. In his savage state he worships the moon and the lights that float upon the waters. These are his gods to whom he appeals at night with long-drawn howls.
Anatole France
The books that everybody admires are those that nobody reads.
Anatole France
A good critic is the man who describes his adventures among masterpieces.
Anatole France
Nothing spoils a confession like repentance.
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
It is good to collect things, but it is better to go on walks.
Anatole France
Armenia is dying, but it will survive. The little blood that it still has left is precious blood that will give birth to a heroic generation. A nation that does not want to die, does not die.
Anatole France
America, where thanks to Congress, there are forty million laws to enforce the Ten Commandments.
Anatole France
Unhappiness does make people look stupid.
Anatole France
Irony and pity are two good counselors: one, in smiling, makes life pleasurable the other, who cries, makes it sacred.
Anatole France
Universal peace will be realized, not because man will become better, but because a new order of things, a new science, new economic necessities, will impose peace.
Anatole France
We have drugs to make women speak, but none to keep them silent.
Anatole France
Distrust even Mathematics albeit so sublime and highly perfected, we have here a machine of such delicacy it can only work in vacuo, and one grain of sand in the wheels is enough to put everything out of gear. One shudders to think to what disaster such a grain of sand may bring a Mathematical brain. Remember Pascal.
Anatole France
The Future is hidden even from those who are forging it.
Anatole France
It's not by amusing oneself that one learns.
Anatole France
There is only one science, love, one riches, love, only one policy, love. To make love is all the law and the prophets.
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
The more you say, the less they remember.
Anatole France
