Jean Rostand

Beauty in art is often nothing but ugliness subdued.

It takes a very deep-rooted opinion to survive unexpressed.

We spend our time envying people whom we wouldn't wish to be.

I have written about the dispossessed, immigrants, the condition of women who do not enjoy the same legal rights as men, the Palestinians who are deprived of their land and condemned to exile.

In a republic, that paradise of debility, the politician is a petty tyrant who obeys the laws.

When the market goes to hell, it's more of an opportunity than a problem.
