More quotes by Jules Renard

Jules Renard
Do not ask me to be kind just ask me to act as though I were.

Jules Renard
There is a justice, but we do not always see it. Discreet, smiling, it is there, at one side, a little behind injustice, which makes a big noise.
Jules Renard
Only in this world do we laugh: in hell, it won't be possible and in heaven, it won't be proper.
