More quotes by Jean Giraudoux
Education makes us more stupid than the brutes. A thousand voices call to us on every hand, but our ears are stopped with wisdom.
Jean Giraudoux
One of the privileges of the great is to witness catastrophes from a terrace.
Jean Giraudoux
Destiny is simply the relentless logic of each day we live.
Jean Giraudoux
All women are born evil. Some just realize their potential later in life than others.
Jean Giraudoux
Countries are like fruit-the worms are always inside.
Jean Giraudoux
When you see a woman who can go nowhere without a staff of admirers, it is not so much because they think she is beautiful, it is because she has told them they are handsome.
Jean Giraudoux
An agreement is never reached in love. The life of a wife and husband who love each other is never at rest. Whether the marriage is true or false, the marriage portion is the same: elemental discord.
Jean Giraudoux
I have been a woman for fifty years, and I've never yet been able to discover precisely what it is I am.
Jean Giraudoux
Close your eyes, all you see is yours.
Jean Giraudoux
Young girls are the chatelaines of truth they must see that it is protected, that the guilty lead the life of the guilty, even if the world rocks on its foundations.
Jean Giraudoux
The stage play is a trial, not a deed of violence. The soul is opened, like the combination of a safe, by means of a word. You don't require an acetylene torch.
Jean Giraudoux
It's odd how people waiting for you stand out far less clearly than people you are waiting for.
Jean Giraudoux
Everyone always dies for his country. If you have lived in it, well and wisely and actively, you die for it too.
Jean Giraudoux
All the evil in the world is the fault of the self-styled pure in heart, a result of their eagerness to unearth secrets and expose them to the light of the sun.
Jean Giraudoux
A wife loves out of duty, and duty leads to constraint, and constraint kills desire.
Jean Giraudoux
I believe in the gods or rather I believe that I believe in the gods. But I don't believe that they are great brooding presences watching over us I believe they are completely absent minded.
Jean Giraudoux
Oh God, if you want women to never again raise their voices, then create an adult man!
Jean Giraudoux
The innocent one is he who does not explain, for whom life is both a mystery and a total light, one who does not complain... For innocence admits of neither regret nor dispute. The innocent one assumes all responsibility.
Jean Giraudoux
Water is the one substance from which the earth can conceal nothing it sucks out its innermost secrets and brings them to our very lips.
Jean Giraudoux
Those who weep recover more quickly than those who smile.
Jean Giraudoux
