More quotes by Jean Anouilh
Il y aura toujours un chien perdu quelque part qui m'empe chera d'e tre heureux. There will always be a lost dog somewhere that will prevent 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
Poor little men, poor little cocks! As soon as they're old enough, they swell their plumage to be conquerors. If they only knew that it's enough to be just a little bit wounded and sad in order to obtain everything without fighting for it.
Jean Anouilh
All children are sweet at five. But at twelve they begin to get silly.
Jean Anouilh
An ugly sight, a man who is afraid.
Jean Anouilh
Beauty, real beauty, is something very grave. If there is a God, He must be partly that.
Jean Anouilh
Saintliness is also a temptation.
Jean Anouilh
A genius knows how to make himself easily understood without being obvious about it.
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
There is love of course. And then there's life, its enemy.
Jean Anouilh
Chacun de nous a un jour, plus ou moins triste, plus ou moins lointain, o u' il doit enfin accepter d'e tre un homme. There will come a day for each of us, more or less sad, more or less distant, whenwe must accept the condition of being human.
Jean Anouilh
Love is, above all, the gift of oneself.
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
One can be a patriot, you know, without making one's wife join the breadline.
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
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
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
Rien n'est vrai que ce qu'on ne dit pas. Nothing is true except that which is unsaid.
Jean Anouilh
To say yes, you have to sweat and roll up your sleeves and plunge both hands into life up to the elbows. It is easy to say no, even if saying no means death.
Jean Anouilh
