More quotes by Jean Giraudoux
Only the mediocre die always at their best. Real leaders are always improving - and raising their bar on how superbly they can perform and how quickly they can move.
Jean Giraudoux
Oh God, if you want women to never again raise their voices, then create an adult man!
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
To have money is to be virtuous, honest, beautiful and witty And to be without is to be ugly and boring and stupid and useless.
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
Falsehood is the jockey of misfortune.
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
One of the privileges of the great is to witness catastrophes from a terrace.
Jean Giraudoux
A man's name, title, and rank are artificial and impermanent they do nothing to reveal what he really is, even to himself.
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
A wife loves out of duty, and duty leads to constraint, and constraint kills desire.
Jean Giraudoux
A woman is a creature who has discovered her own nature.
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
Close your eyes, all you see is yours.
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
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
In times of death and famine, reason is on the side of the priests-who have their own kind of logic which cries for miracles and, on occasion, invents them.
Jean Giraudoux
Those who weep recover more quickly than those who smile.
Jean Giraudoux
It's odd how people waiting for you stand out far less clearly than people you are waiting for.
Jean Giraudoux
The brave men die in war. It takes great luck or judgment not to be killed. Once‚ at least‚ the head has to bow and the knee has to bend to danger. The soldiers who march back under the triumphal arches are death's deserters.
Jean Giraudoux
