More quotes by Jean-Luc Godard

Jean-Luc Godard
Suddenly, I don't know what to say. It happens often to me. I know what I want to say, I think about whether it is what I mean, but when the moment comes to speak, I can't say it. - Nana Kleinfrankenheim, Vivre Sa Vie.
Jean-Luc Godard
Objects exist and if one pays more attention to them than to people, it is precisely because they exist more than the people. Dead objects are still alive. Living people are often already dead.
Jean-Luc Godard
I don't know if I am free because I am happy or happy because I am free.
Jean-Luc Godard
Photography could have been invented in color. Colors existed.
Jean-Luc Godard
Hollywood was invented by hoodlums from central Europe. And today a Hollywood lawyer is not a hoodlum. He's a bureaucrat.
