Celebrity: I picture myself as a marble bust with legs to run everywhere.
Jean Cocteau
It is not inspiration it is expiration.
Jean Cocteau

Jean Cocteau
The artist is a kind of prison from which the works of art escape.
Jean Cocteau

Jean Cocteau

Jean Cocteau
History is a combination of reality and lies. The reality of History becomes a lie. The unreality of the fable becomes the truth.
Jean Cocteau
Stupidity is always astounding, no matter how often one encounters it.
Jean Cocteau

Jean Cocteau
Enough of clouds, waves, aquariums, water-sprites and nocturnal scents what we need is music of the earth, everyday music..music one can live in like a house.
Jean Cocteau
Since it's now fashionable to laugh at the conservative French Academy, I have remained a rebel by joining it.
Jean Cocteau
The art of genius is knowing how far out is too far.
Jean Cocteau
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.
Jean Cocteau
And history becomes legend and legend becomes history.
Jean Cocteau
Film will only became an art when its materials are as inexpensive as pencil and paper.
Jean Cocteau
Without opium, plans, marriages and journeys appear to me just as foolish as if someone falling out of a window were to hope to make friends with the occupants of the room before which he passes.
Jean Cocteau
