[Literature & Visual Arts] Rolland, Romain. (1866 - 1944). Autograph Signed Quotation. Autograph quotation in Latin from the French writer who won the 1915 Nobel Prize for literature. Two lines in Latin, "Pax enim non belli privatio, sed virtus est, quae ex animi fortitudine oritur" ["Peace is not an absence of war, it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice"], identified by Rolland as from Spinoza, and inscribed with a note in French, "This thought will serve as an epigraph to Volume III of "The Enchanted Soul / Romain Rolland." On a rigid card, 11.5 x 9 cm, December 1926. A few spots of foxing, some related clippings affixed to the verso.

Rolland was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1915 "as a tribute to the lofty idealism of his literary production and to the sympathy and love of truth with which he has described different types of human beings." The present quotation from Spinoza appears at the head of the third volume of his 7-volume roman-fleuve, L'âme enchantée (1922–1933).
