Jean Anouilh
Nothing is irreparable in politics.
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
Saintliness is also a temptation.
Jean Anouilh
Inspiration? - a hoax fabricated by poets for their self-importance.
Jean Anouilh
Life is very nice, but it lacks form. It's the aim of art to give it some.
Jean Anouilh
