More quotes by Anatole France
A good critic is the man who describes his adventures among masterpieces.
Anatole France

Anatole France
We chase dreams and embrace shadows.
Anatole France
The future is a convenient place for dreams.
Anatole France
It is well for the heart to be naive and for the mind not to be.

Anatole France
When a history book contains no lies it is always tedious.
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
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
Lovers who love truly do not write down their happiness.
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
Change is the essence of life.
Anatole France
