More quotes by Anatole France

Anatole France
Caress your phrase tenderly it will end by smiling at you.
Anatole France
Jealousy is a virtue of democracies which preserves them from tyrants.
Anatole France

Anatole France
So long as society is founded on injustice, the function of the laws will be to defend injustice. And the more unjust they are the more respectable they will seem.
Anatole France

Anatole France
Chance is the pseudonym God uses when He'd rather not sign His own name.
Anatole France
Ignorance and error are necessary to life, like bread and water.
Anatole France
I do not know any reading more easy, more fascinating, more delightful than a catalogue.
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
You become a good writer just as you become a good joiner: by planing down your sentences.
Anatole France
It is only the poor who pay cash, and that not from virtue, but because they are refused credit.
Anatole France
Sometimes one day in a difference place gives you more than ten years of a life at home.
Anatole France
