More quotes by Jean Giraudoux

Jean Giraudoux
A man has only one way of being immortal on earth: he has to forget he is a mortal.
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
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

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
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
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
One of the privileges of the great is to witness catastrophes from a terrace.
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
Faithful women are all alike, they think only of their fidelity, never of their husbands.
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
You're an Attorney. It's your duty to lie, conceal, and distort everything, and slander everybody.
Jean Giraudoux
A faithful woman looks to the spring, a good book, perfume, earthquakes, and divine revelation for the experience others find in a lover. They deceive their husbands, so to speak, with the entire world, men excepted.
Jean Giraudoux
