More quotes by Andre Maurois
We don't go to school to learn, but to be soaked in the prejudices of our class, without which we should be useless and unhappy.
Andre Maurois

Andre Maurois
Every ten years you should delete from your mind a few ideas that your experience has proven to be false.
Andre Maurois
You don't love a man for what he says, but love what he says because you love him.
