More quotes by Jean Anouilh
Believe me all evil comes from the old. They grow fat on ideas and young men die of them.
Jean Anouilh
Beauty, real beauty, is something very grave. If there is a God, He must be partly that.
Jean Anouilh
Rien n'est vrai que ce qu'on ne dit pas. Nothing is true except that which is unsaid.
Jean Anouilh
What fun it would be to be poor, as long as one was excessively poor! Anything in excess is most exhilarating
Jean Anouilh

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
God is on everyone's side... and in the last analysis, he is on the side with plenty of money and large armies.
Jean Anouilh
Nobody has a more sacred obligation to obey the law than those who make the law.
Jean Anouilh

Jean Anouilh
An ugly sight, a man who is afraid.
Jean Anouilh
Life isn't what you think it is. It's like water, and the young let it trickle away between their fingers without even noticing. Cup your hands, keep it safe. Life eventually becomes something else, something hard, something simple, something you can hold in your hand and nibble on contentedly as you sit in the sun.
Jean Anouilh
Tragedy is restful: and the reason is that hope, that foul, deceitful thing, has no part in it.
Jean Anouilh
Talent is like a faucet, while it is open, one must write.
Jean Anouilh
There is love of course. And then there's life, its enemy.
Jean Anouilh
Saintliness is also a temptation.
Jean Anouilh
However tight I shut my eyes, there will always be a stray dog somewhere in the world who'll stop me being happy.
Jean Anouilh
Have you noticed that life, with murders and catastrophes and fabulous inheritances, happens almost exclusively in newspapers?
Jean Anouilh
Life is very nice, but it lacks form. It's the aim of art to give it some.
Jean Anouilh
What you get free costs too much.
Jean Anouilh
