I must out with it: We had and have no hatred against France: we have idolized the fine arts, the sculpture and painting and the literature of that country. The worldwide appreciation of Rodin had its origin in Germany we esteem Anatole France, Maupassant, Flaubert, Balzac, as if they were German authors. We have a deep affection for the people of South France.
He writes himself down whenever he puts pen to paper. For instance, there is the historic duel between Anatole France, a free-lance among critics, and Ferdinand Brunetière, intrenched behind the bastions of tradition, not to mention the Revue des Deux Mondes.

"Fool," retorted Anatole. "Don't talk nonsense! If you only knew... it's the devil knows what!" "No, really, give it up!" said Dolokhov. "I am speaking seriously. It's no joke, this plot you've hatched." "What, teasing again? Go to the devil! Eh?" said Anatole, making a grimace. "Really it's no time for your stupid jokes," and he left the room.

"Well, comrade," replied Hyde, laughing a little uneasily, "you ought to know me again." "Lose no time, friend, in getting what you want from the Mairie. Come: I will go with you.
