More quotes by Jules Renard
If I had my life to live over again, I would ask that not a thing be changed, but that my eyes be opened wider.
Jules Renard
There are moments when everything goes well, but don't be frightened.
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
It astounds us to come upon other egoists, as though we alone had the right to be selfish, and to be filled with eagerness to live.
Jules Renard
The story I am writing exists, written in absolutely perfect fashion, some place, in the air. All I must do is find it, and copy it.
Jules Renard
Man who waits for roast duck to fly into mouth must wait very, very long time.
Jules Renard
Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.
Jules Renard
God, he whom everyone knows, by name.
Jules Renard
The horse is the only animal into which one can bang nails.
Jules Renard

Jules Renard
Style means the right word. The rest matters little.
Jules Renard
Walks. The body advances, while the mind flutters around it like a bird.
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?
Jules Renard
Paradise does not exist, but we must nonetheless strive to be worthy of it.
Jules Renard
Writing is the best way to talk without being interrupted.
Jules Renard
It doesn't pay to say too much when you are mad enough to choke. For the word that stings the deepest is the word that is never spoke, Let the other fellow wrangle till the storm has blown away, then he'll do a heap of thinking about the things you didn't say.
Jules Renard
We are ignorant of the Beyond because this ignorance is the condition of our own life. Just as ice cannot know fire except by melting and vanishing.
Jules Renard
Posterity! Why should people be less stupid tomorrow than they are today?
Jules Renard
I am afraid I shall not find him, but I shall still look for him, for if he exists, he may be appreciative of my efforts.
Jules Renard
Love is like an hourglass, with the heart filling up as the brain empties.
Jules Renard
