More quotes by Anatole France
A woman without breasts is like a bed without pillows.
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

Anatole France

Anatole France
It is only the poor who are forbidden to beg.
Anatole France
I ought not to fear to survive my own people so long as there are men in the world for there are always some whom one can love.
Anatole France
Lovers who love truly do not write down their happiness.
Anatole France
To imagine is everything, to know is nothing at all.
Anatole France
The first virtue of all really great men is that they are sincere. They eradicate hypocrisy from their hearts.
