The Madwoman of Chaillot Quotes

“I remember a time when a cabbage could sell itself by being a cabbage. Nowadays it’s no good being a cabbage – unless you have an agent and pay him a commission. Nothing is free anymore to sell itself or give itself away. These days, Countess, every cabbage has its pimp.”
― Jean Giraudoux, The Madwoman of Chaillot

“Nothing is ever so wrong in this world that a sensible woman can't set it right in the course of an afternoon.”
― Jean Giraudoux, The Madwoman of Chaillot
