Excerpt from The Opinions of Anatole France Finally, he adores friendship above everything else. Thus, the man who symbolizes incredulity in the eyes of many of his contemporaries is, after his own fashion, the most devout believer. Such is the evidence of his own words in the pages which follow. Here in their first form will be found not only maxims with which he embellished his writings, but also many excellent and hitherto unpublished stories. No doubt, these are but the crumbs and fragments of a royal feast, but the superior quality of great men is not always attested in their most laboured works. Rather may it be recognized in what springs spontaneously and without effort from their brain. The best of their genius often lies in what they never think of writing down, but reveal in instinctive outbursts, in thoughts long matured.
