Jules Renard

Jules Renard
Love is like an hourglass, with the heart filling up as the brain empties.
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
Words should be only the clothes, carefully custom-made to fit the thought.
Jules Renard
The horse is the only animal into which one can bang nails.
Jules Renard
There are moments when everything goes well, but don't be frightened.
