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

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

"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."

"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."

"You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; in just the same way, you learn to love by loving."
