About Anatole France

Anatole France (16 April 1844 – 12 October 1924), born Jacques Anatole François Thibault, was a French poet, journalist, and novelist. Ironic and skeptical, he was considered in his day the ideal French man of letters. A member of the Académie française, he won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Literature in recognition of his literary achievements. He is widely believed to be the model for the narrator's literary idol "Bergotte" in Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time.

Additional quotes by Anatole France

"You cry, "give us war!" You are visionaries. When will you become thinkers? The thinkers do not look for power and strength from any of the dreams that constitute military art: tactics, strategies, fortifications, artillery and all that rubbish. They do no believe in war, which is a fantasy; they believe in chemistry, which is a science. They know the way to put victory into an algebraic formula."

— Em tese – disse o senhor Lerond –, um erro judiciário é uma coisa inverossímil. Direi mesmo que é uma coisa impossível, uma vez que a lei oferece garantias aos acusados. Digo-o em favor da justiça civil. Digo-o também a favor da justiça militar. Diante do Conselho de Guerra, o acusado, se não encontra todas as garantias nas formas um pouco sumárias do processo, poderá achá-las no caráter dos juízes.
