Jules Renard
There are moments when everything goes well, but don't be frightened.

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
I find that when I do not think of myself I do not think at all.
Jules Renard
The danger of success is that it makes us forget the world's dreadful injustice.
Jules Renard
Acting of some actors seems natural, because they have no talent.
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
