Jean Anouilh
Death is beautiful. It alone gives love its true habitat.
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
Talent is like a faucet, while it is open, one must write.
Jean Anouilh

Jean Anouilh
Love is, above all, the gift of oneself.
Jean Anouilh

Jean Anouilh
Life is very nice, but it lacks form. It's the aim of art to give it some.
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
God! Is there anything uglier than a frightened man!
Jean Anouilh
God is on everyone's side... and in the last analysis, he is on the side with plenty of money and large armies.
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
Things are beautiful if you love 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
Nobody has a more sacred obligation to obey the law than those who make the law.
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
