Jean Cocteau
To be audacious with tact, you have to know to what point you can go too far.
Jean Cocteau

Jean Cocteau
One must be a living man and a posthumous artist.
Jean Cocteau

Jean Cocteau
What uniform can I wear to hide my heavy heart? It is too heavy. It will always show. Jacques felt himself growing gloomy again. He was well aware that to live on earth a man must follow its fashions, and hearts were no longer worn.
Jean Cocteau
Art is science made flesh.
Jean Cocteau
A film is a petrified fountain of thought.
Jean Cocteau
I succeeded in bewitching a fair number and in being intoxicated with my mistakes.
Jean Cocteau
After the writer's death, reading his journal is like receiving a long letter.
