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

The object of art is to give life shape.
Jean Anouilh

All prisons are brimming over with innocence. It is those who cram their fellows into them, in the name of empty ideas, who are the only guilty ones.
Jean Anouilh
Image
An ugly sight, a man who is afraid.
Jean Anouilh
Image
Have you noticed that life, with murders and catastrophes and fabulous inheritances, happens almost exclusively in newspapers?
Jean Anouilh

Saintliness is also a temptation.
Jean Anouilh
Image
Beauty, real beauty, is something very grave. If there is a God, He must be partly that.
