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
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.
