More quotes by Anatole France
To imagine is everything, to know is nothing at all.
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
People who don't count won't count.
Anatole France
There is a certain impertinence in allowing oneself to be burned for an opinion.
Anatole France
History books that contain no lies are extremely dull.
Anatole France
The future is a convenient place for dreams.
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
The law ... allows rich as well as poor to sleep under bridges.
Anatole France

Anatole France
You think you are dying for your country you die for the industrialists.
Anatole France
An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you know and what you don't.
Anatole France
It's not by amusing oneself that one learns.
Anatole France
The faculty of doubting is rare among men. A few choice spirits carry the germs of it in them, but these do not develop without training.
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 .
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
In truth man is made rather to eat ices than to pore over old texts.
Anatole France
What men call civilization is the condition of present customs what they call barbarism, the condition of past ones.
