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.

Meilės kaltės bus atleistos,
nes tyroj meilėj nėra nieko pikta. Bet jausmingoj
meilėj yra tiek pat neapykantos, egoizmo ir
apmaudo, kiek ir meilės.
