Jean Anouilh
God! Is there anything uglier than a frightened man!
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
Everything ends this way in France — everything. Weddings, christenings, duels, burials, swindlings, diplomatic affairs — everything is a pretext for a good dinner.
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
Rien n'est vrai que ce qu'on ne dit pas. Nothing is true except that which is unsaid.
Jean Anouilh
Saintliness is also a temptation.
Jean Anouilh
Death has to be waiting at the end of the ride before you truly see the earth, and feel your heart, and love the world.
Jean Anouilh
Nothing is irreparable in politics.
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
Believe me all evil comes from the old. They grow fat on ideas and young men die of them.
Jean Anouilh
