Armenia is dying, but it will survive. The little blood that is left is precious blood that will give birth to a heroic generation. A nation that does not want to die, does not die. April 9, 1916 Sorbonne
Anatole France
Born: April 16, 1844 Died: October 12, 1924
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.

Un hombre prudente amontonará bastante dinamita para hacer estallar el planeta, y cuando se desparramen sus fragmentos por el espacio se habrá conseguido en el Universo una mejora imperceptible, se habrá dado una satisfacción a la conciencia universal, que indudablemente no existe.
