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.

Jean Anouilh

Jean Anouilh

Jean Anouilh
All children are sweet at five. But at twelve they begin to get silly.
Jean Anouilh
Don't make the mistake of believing it's enough to reproduce the realities of life.... The object of art is to give life a shape, and to do it by every conceivable artifice.
Jean Anouilh
The true masters of the art of living are already happy.
Jean Anouilh
When you are forty, half of you belongs to the past... And when you are seventy, nearly all of you.
Jean Anouilh
Nobody has a more sacred obligation to obey the law than those who make the law.
Jean Anouilh
Saintliness is also a temptation.
Jean Anouilh
