"Words are the coins making up the currency of sentences, and there are always too many small coins." — Jules Renard
 Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.

His journal (1897 to 1910, published in 1925) is a masterpiece of introspection, irony, humor and nostalgia, and also provides an important glimpse into the literary life.
The British writer Somerset Maugham was influenced to publish his own well-known journals by the example of Renard. In the introduction to his own work A Writer's Notebook, Maugham wrote an apt summary of the virtues of Renard's journal: "The journal is wonderfully good reading. It is extremely amusing. It is witty and subtle and often wise... Jules Renard jotted down neat retorts and clever phrases, epigrams, things seen, the sayings of people and the look of them, descriptions of scenery, effects of sunshine and shadow, everything, in short, that could be of use to him when he sat down to write for publication."
  • It is not how old you are but how you are old.
  • Writing is an occupation in which you have to keep proving your talent to people who have none.
  • Culture is what's left after you have forgotten everything.
  • I don't know if God exists, but it would be better for His reputation if He didn't.
  • Look for the ridiculous in everything, and you will find it.
  • If money does not make you happy; give it back.
  • Writing is the only way to talk without being interrupted.
  • If one were to build the house of happiness, the largest space would be the waiting room.
  • Dying serves no purpose so die now.
  • The horse is the only animal into which one can bang nails.
  • We don't understand life any better at forty than at twenty, but we know it and admit it.
  • I find when I do not think of myself I do not think at all.
  • Failure is not the only punishment for laziness; there is also the success of others.
  • Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.
  • The only man who is really free is the one who can turn down an invitation to dinner without giving an excuse.
  • Writing is the only profession where no one considers you ridiculous if you earn no money.
  • As I grow to understand life less and less, I learn to love it more and more.
  • I am never bored anywhere; being bored is an insult to oneself.
  • If I were to begin life again, I should want it as it was. I would only open my eyes a little more.
  • Love is like an hourglass, with the heart filling up as the brain empties.
  • Not everybody can be an orphan.[2]

從初二起,1966,就開始讀黎烈文翻譯的法國文學。
如今他已110歲了。我似乎記得,他到法國從中學學起。(這情況,跟現在德國漢學家莫芝宜家(Monika Motsch)到台北的仁愛國中上課類似。)
後來,我從許達然、楊牧等前輩的作品知道:他們也讀黎先生的中譯小說。
2015.9.13 我稍微跟許達然談他的學士畢業論文,他是用英文寫的,主題可能是"西方近期拿破崙文獻的研究",也牽涉到法文。我早知道黎烈文教授當年到東海大學兼課,教法文,而在山上,他與學生如許達然等的交往密切,告訴學生許多他與魯迅的交往---我相信黎烈文教授很少跟臺大的師生說這些。http://hclectures.blogspot.tw/2014/11/blog-post_27.html
