More quotes by Jean Anouilh

Jean Anouilh
When you are forty, half of you belongs to the past... And when you are seventy, nearly all of you.
Jean Anouilh

Jean Anouilh
Saintliness is also a temptation.
Jean Anouilh
Nobody has a more sacred obligation to obey the law than those who make the law.
Jean Anouilh
What you get free costs too much.
Jean Anouilh
There is love of course. And then there's life, its enemy.
Jean Anouilh
Things are beautiful if you love them.
Jean Anouilh
Talent is like a faucet, while it is open, one must write.
Jean Anouilh
However tight I shut my eyes, there will always be a stray dog somewhere in the world who'll stop me being happy.
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
