246 Quotes by Émile Zola

Selling beauty is something I can understand. Even selling false beauty seems perfectly natural; it's a sign of progress.

I believe that all is illusion and vanity outside the treasure of truths slowly accumulated, and which will never again be lost. I believe that the sum of these truths, always increasing, will at last confer on man incalculable power and peace, if not happiness. Yes, I believe in the final triumph of life.

Keep well; that is the half of wisdom and of happiness.
