All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy... - Anatole France

"The average man, who does not know what to do with his life, wants another one which will last forever."

"In art as in love, instinct is enough."

"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened."

"The whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening the natural curiosity of young minds for the purpose of satisfying it afterwards."

"To accomplish great things, we must dream as well as act."
