Whenever I have talked to anyone at too great length, I am like a man who has drunk too much, and ashamed, doesn't know where to put himself.
Jules Renard
Acting of some actors seems natural, because they have no talent.
Jules Renard
The void yields up nothing. You have to be a great poet to make it ring.
