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

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

"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."

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

"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."

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