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
Everything ends this way in France — everything. Weddings, christenings, duels, burials, swindlings, diplomatic affairs — everything is a pretext for a good dinner.
Jean Anouilh
Believe me all evil comes from the old. They grow fat on ideas and young men die of them.
Jean Anouilh
The only immorality is not to do what one has to do when one has to do it.
Jean Anouilh
Saintliness is also a temptation.
Jean Anouilh
