Famous quotes by Jean Cocteau:

"The poet doesn't invent. He listens."

"You've never seen death? Look in the mirror every day and you will see it like bees working in a glass hive."

"Asking an artist to talk about his work is like asking a plant to discuss horticulture."

"Art produces ugly things which frequently become more beautiful with time. Fashion, on the other hand, produces beautiful things which always become ugly with time."

"Here I am trying to live, or rather, I am trying to teach the death within me how to live."

"There are truths which one can only say after having won the right to say them."

"When a work appears to be ahead of its time, it is only the time that is behind the work."

"An artist cannot speak about his art any more than a plant can discuss horticulture."

"Since the day of my birth, my death began its walk. It is walking toward me, without hurrying."

"I love cats because I enjoy my home; and little by little, they become its visible soul."

"A film is a petrified fountain of thought."

"An original artist is unable to copy. So he has only to copy in order to be original."

"Whatever the public blames you for, cultivate it; it is yourself."

"The reward of art is not fame or success but intoxication: that is why so many bad artists are unable to give it up."

"The actual tragedies of life bear no relation to one's preconceived ideas. In the event, one is always bewildered by their simplicity, their grandeur of design, and by that element of the bizarre which seems inherent in them."

"The worst tragedy for a poet is to be admired through being misunderstood."

"There are too many souls of wood not to love those wooden characters who do indeed have a soul."

"What the public criticizes in you, cultivate. It is you."

"After the writer's death, reading his journal is like receiving a long letter."

"The ear disapproves but tolerates certain musical pieces; transfer them into the domain of our nose, and we will be forced to flee."
