Jean Giraudoux
» Education » “Education makes us more stupid than the brutes. A thousand voices call to us on every hand, but our ears are stopped with wisdom.”
» Flowers » “The flower is the poetry of reproduction. It is the example of the eternal seductiveness of life.”
» Habit » “There is an invisible garment woven around us from our earliest years; it is made of the way we eat, the way we walk, the way we greet people…”
» Labor » “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.”
» Mediocrity » “Only the mediocre are always at their best.”
