Jules Renard
I have no religion,’ says Borneau, ‘but I respect the religion of others. Religion is sacred.’ Why this privilege, this immunity?... A believer creates God in his own image if he is ugly, his God will be morally ugly. Why should moral ugliness be respectable?

A beautiful line of verse has twelve feet, and two wings.
Jules Renard

Jules Renard
Life is what our character makes it. We fashion it, as a snail does its shell. A man can say: I never made a fortune because it is not in my character to be rich.
Jules Renard
Love is like an hourglass, with the heart filling up as the brain empties.
Jules Renard
Some people are so boring that they make you waste an entire day in five minutes.
Jules Renard
The ideal of calm exists in a sitting cat.
Jules Renard
We must be greater than God, for we have to undo His injustice.
Jules Renard
There are places and moments in which one is so completely alone that one sees the world entire.
