Jules Renard

“Failure is not our only punishment for laziness there is also the success of others.”

“I finally know what distinguishes man from the other beasts: financial worries.”

“Writing is the only profession where no one considers you ridiculous if you earn no money.”

“Truth makes many appeals, not the least of which is its power to shock.”

“The danger of success is that it makes us forget the world's dreadful injustice.”
