There are no elements so diverse that they cannot be joined in the heart of a man.
From Jean Giraudoux
The brave men die in war. It takes great luck or judgment not to be killed. Once, at least, the head has to bow and the knee has to bend to danger. The soldiers who march back under the triumphal arches are death's deserters.
I'm not afraid of death. It's the stake one puts up in order to play the game of life.
The older we women grow, the more clearly we see what men really are: hypocrites, boasters, he-goats. The older men grow, the more they doll us up with every perfection.
One of the privileges of the great is to witness catastrophes from a terrace.
Only the mediocre are always at their best.
The secret of success is sincerity.
Men don't deceive their wives unless they love them. When they love them most, they deceive them. It's a form of fidelity, their deceit.
I tell you, sir, the only safeguard of order and discipline in the modern world is a standardized worker with interchangeable parts. That would solve the entire problem of management.
The flower is the poetry of reproduction. It is an example of the eternal seductiveness of life.
