Anatole France

Anatole France
I cling to my imperfection, as the very essence of my being.
Anatole France
All the good writers of confessions, from Augustine onwards, are men who are still a little in love with their sins.
Anatole France
I do not know any reading more easy, more fascinating, more delightful than a catalogue.
Anatole France
