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

"All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another."

"We have never heard the devil's side of the story, God wrote all the book."

"The books that everybody admires are those that nobody reads."

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

"Never lend books, for no one ever returns them; the only books I have in my library are books that other folks have lent me."
