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

"It is the certainty that they possess the truth that makes men cruel."

"To accomplish great things, we must not only act but also dream, not only plan, but also believe!"

"It is by acts and not by ideas that people live."

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

"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."
