Jean Anouilh said this quote

There is love of course. And then there's life, its enemy.

~ Jean Anouilh

I spit on your happiness! I spit on your idea of life--that life that must go on, come what may. You are all like dogs that lick everything they smell. You with your promise of a humdrum happiness--provided a person doesn't ask much of life. I want everything of life, I do; and I want it now! I want it total, complete: otherwise I reject it! I will not be moderate. I will not be satisfied with the bit of cake you offer me if I promise to be a good little girl. I want to be sure of everything this very day; sure that everything will be as beautiful as when I was a little girl. If not, I want to die!

~ Jean Anouilh

Talent is a faucet. When it is on, one must write. Inspiration is a farce that poets have invented to give themselves importance.

~ Jean Anouilh

It bothered me that whatever was waiting wasn't waiting for me

~ Jean Anouilh
