Jules Renard
Don't tell a woman she's pretty tell her there's no other woman like her, and all roads will open to you.
Jules Renard
The strong do not hesitate. They settle down, they sweat, they go on to the end. They exhaust the ink, they use up the paper.
Jules Renard
There are places and moments in which one is so completely alone that one sees the world entire.
Jules Renard
if I were to begin my life again, I should want it as it was. I would only open my eyes a little more.
Jules Renard
Truth makes many appeals, not the least of which is its power to shock.
Jules Renard
We spend our lives talking about this mystery. Our life.
Jules Renard
