More quotes by 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
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
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
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
Beauty is one of the rare things that do not lead to doubt of God.
Jean Anouilh
Rien n'est vrai que ce qu'on ne dit pas. Nothing is true except that which is unsaid.
Jean Anouilh

Jean Anouilh
Beauty, real beauty, is something very grave. If there is a God, He must be partly that.
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
Things are beautiful if you love them.
Jean Anouilh
Life is a child playing round your feet, a tool you hold firmly in your grip, a bench you sit down upon in the evening, in your garden.
Jean Anouilh
A genius knows how to make himself easily understood without being obvious about it.
Jean Anouilh
Inspiration? - a hoax fabricated by poets for their self-importance.
Jean Anouilh
Saintliness is also a temptation.
Jean Anouilh
Death has to be waiting at the end of the ride before you truly see the earth, and feel your heart, and love the world.
Jean Anouilh
There is love of course. And then there's life, its enemy.
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
Our entire life, with our fine moral code and our precious freedom, consists ultimately in accepting ourselves as we are.
Jean Anouilh
