Anatole France<\/h1>\n

The Nobel Prize in Literature 1921<\/strong><\/p>\n

Novelist, storyteller; almost all genres. Nobility of style, profound human sympathy, true Gallic temperament. Historical fiction evokes past civilizations with great charm, deep insight.<\/p>\n

Post-World War I. At Nobel ceremony Frenchman France turned to Nobelist, German Nernst, exchanged a long and cordial handshake with him – a profoundly symbolic gesture <\/em><\/p>\n

Humor<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. We reproach people for talking about themselves; but it is the subject they treat best.<\/li>\n
  2. People who have no weaknesses are terrible; there is no way of taking advantage of them.<\/li>\n
  3. Those who have given themselves the most concern about the happiness of peoples have made their neighbors very miserable.<\/li>\n
  4. It is human nature to think wisely and act in an absurd fashion.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Quotations<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. It is by acts and not by ideas that people live.<\/li>\n
    2. That man is prudent who neither hopes nor fears anything from the uncertain events of the future.<\/li>\n
    3. For the majority of people, though they do not know what to do with this life, long for another that shall have no end.<\/li>\n
    4. To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.<\/li>\n
    5. 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.<\/li>\n
    6. I thank fate for having made me born poor. Poverty taught me the true value of the gifts useful to life.<\/li>\n
    7. Lovers who love truly do not write down their happiness.<\/li>\n
    8. It is well for the heart to be naive and the mind not to be.<\/li>\n
    9. Wandering re-establishes the original harmony which once existed between man and the universe.<\/li>\n
    10. Innocence most often is a good fortune and not a virtue.<\/li>\n
    11. The greatest virtue of man is perhaps curiosity.<\/li>\n
    12. Suffering – how divine it is, how misunderstood! We owe to it all that is good in us, all that gives value to life; we owe to it pity, we owe to it courage, we owe to it all the virtues<\/li>\n
    13. You become a good writer just as you become a good joiner: by planing down your sentences.<\/li>\n
    14. Your hearts are pure and your hands are innocent, and the truth will easily enter into your souls.<\/li>\n
    15. Those who produced the things necessary for life, wanted them; those who did not produce them had more than enough.<\/li>\n
    16. Until one has loved an animal a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.<\/li>\n
    17. Irony is the gaiety of reflection and the joy of wisdom.<\/li>\n
    18. Jealousy is a virtue of democracies which preserves them from tyrants.<\/li>\n
    19. The whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening the natural curiosity of young minds for the purpose of satisfying it afterwards.<\/li>\n
    20. An education isn’t how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It’s being able to differentiate between what you know and what you don’t.<\/li>\n
    21. Nine tenths of education is encouragement.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
