More quotes by Jean Anouilh

Jean Anouilh

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
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
Rien n'est vrai que ce qu'on ne dit pas. Nothing is true except that which is unsaid.
Jean Anouilh
A genius knows how to make himself easily understood without being obvious about it.
Jean Anouilh
Oh, love is real enough you will find it someday, but it has one archenemy - and that is life.
Jean Anouilh
Life is very nice, but it lacks form. It's the aim of art to give it some.
Jean Anouilh
The object of art is to give life shape.
Jean Anouilh
Beauty is one of the rare things that do not lead to doubt of God.
Jean Anouilh
Are you in earnest? Seize this very minute! Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Only engage, and then the mind grows heated. Begin, and then the work will be completed.
Jean Anouilh
Have you noticed that life, with murders and catastrophes and fabulous inheritances, happens almost exclusively in newspapers?
Jean Anouilh
I don't want people to love me. It makes for obligations.
Jean Anouilh
There is love of course. And then there's life, its enemy.
Jean Anouilh
