Jean Giono Quotes

Men Are Indeed Wretched ... Everything Beautiful Happens Without Them. Cholera And Catchwords Are What They Make. The Foam With Jealousy Or Die Of Boredom, Which Comes Down To The Same Thing, If They're Not Allowed To Interfere. And Whenever They Do Interfere, There's A Premium On Hypocrisy And Raving. One Need Only Be Up Here O In The Wilderness That I Rode Through The Other Day, To Realize Where The True Battles Lie, To Become Very Particular About The Victories One Strives For. In Short, To Cease Being Content With Little. As Soon As You're Alone, Things Lay Hold Of You By Themselves And Always Force You To Take The Roads That Are Hardest To Climb. And Even If You Don't Get There, What Fine Views You Have, And How Reassuring Everything Is.
