More quotes by Jean Cocteau
May the devil himself splatter you with dung.
Jean Cocteau
The skin of all of us is responsive to gypsy songs and military marches.
Jean Cocteau
The preservation of friendship is seen as opportunism. You are required to be in one camp or the other. You are enjoined to cut your heartstrings if they extend across the barricade.
Jean Cocteau
The speed of a runaway horse counts for nothing.
Jean Cocteau
I succeeded in bewitching a fair number and in being intoxicated with my mistakes.
Jean Cocteau
The only work of art which succeeds is that which fails.
Jean Cocteau
Emotion resulting from a work of art is only of value when it is not obtained by sentimental blackmail.
Jean Cocteau
Style is a simple way of saying complicated things.
Jean Cocteau
Tact in audacity is knowing how far you can go without going too far.
Jean Cocteau
The smell of opium is the least stupid smell in the world.
Jean Cocteau
Art is science made flesh.
Jean Cocteau
Whatever the world condemns you for, make it your own. It is yourself.
Jean Cocteau
It seems to me that invisibility is the required provision of elegance. Elegance ceases to exist when it is noticed.
Jean Cocteau
One must be a living man and a posthumous artist.
Jean Cocteau
The world owes its enchantment to these curious creatures and their fancies but its multiple complicity rejects them. Thistledown spirits, tragic, heartrending in their evanescence, they must go blowing headlong to perdition.
Jean Cocteau
Lack of manners is the sign of a hero.
Jean Cocteau
The ultimate politeness in art consists of speaking only to those who are able to uncover and measure its relationships. Anything else is symbolic, and symbolism is merely transcendental imagery.
Jean Cocteau
Poetry, being elegance itself, cannot hope to achieve visibility... It insists on living its own life.
Jean Cocteau
The prettiest dresses are worn to be taken off.
Jean Cocteau
An original artist is unable to copy. So he has only to copy in order to be original.
Jean Cocteau
