Quote

My life is very exciting now. Nostalgia for what? It's like climbing a staircase. I'm on the top of the staircase, I look behind and see the steps. That's where I was. We're here right now. Tomorrow, we'll be someplace else. So why nostalgia?

Jeanne Moreau
Image
To me age is a number, just a number. Who cares?
Jeanne Moreau
Image
I don't like going where I've already been. Life is a myriad of territories to discover. I don't want to waste time with what I already know.

Sometimes there is a great intimacy between women without any homosexuality. This is something that men are less likely to understand, because for them sensuality means sexual. It doesn't excite us to imagine two men together.

In making dinner for a friend, don't forget the love.
