Jean Anouilh
A genius knows how to make himself easily understood without being obvious about it.
Jean Anouilh
Poor little men, poor little cocks! As soon as they're old enough, they swell their plumage to be conquerors. If they only knew that it's enough to be just a little bit wounded and sad in order to obtain everything without fighting for it.
Jean Anouilh
There is love of course. And then there's life, its enemy.
Jean Anouilh
An ugly sight, a man who is afraid.
Jean Anouilh
What you get free costs too much.
Jean Anouilh
All children are sweet at five. But at twelve they begin to get silly.
Jean Anouilh
