Anouilh

Famous quotes containing the word anouilh:

    Listen, my friend, there are two races of beings. The masses teeming and happy—common clay, if you like—eating, breeding, working, counting their pennies; people who just live; ordinary people; people you can’t imagine dead. And then there are the others—the noble ones, the heroes. The ones you can quite well imagine lying shot, pale and tragic; one minute triumphant with a guard of honor, and the next being marched away between two gendarmes.
    —Jean Anouilh (1910–1987)

    To say yes, you have to sweat and roll up your sleeves and plunge both hands into life up to the elbows. It’s easy to say no, even if it means dying.
    —Jean Anouilh (1910–1987)

    Propaganda is a soft weapon; hold it in your hands too long, and it will move about like a snake, and strike the other way.
    —Jean Anouilh (1910–1987)
