God! Is there anything uglier than a frightened man!
Jean Anouilh

Oh, love is real enough you will find it someday, but it has one archenemy - and that is life.
Jean Anouilh
Image
What you get free costs too much.
Jean Anouilh
Image
Love is, above all, the gift of oneself.
Jean Anouilh

Beauty, real beauty, is something very grave. If there is a God, He must be partly that.
Jean Anouilh
Image
Talent is like a faucet, while it is open, one must write.
Jean Anouilh
Image
An ugly sight, a man who is afraid.
Jean Anouilh
