Success is like a liberation or the first phrase of a love story.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
Death is an absolute mystery. We are all vulnerable to it, it's what makes life interesting and suspenseful.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
When you live under the power of terror and segregation, you can't ever start a work of art.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
What is amazing for a woman of my age is that I change as the world is changing-and changing very, very fast. I don't think my mother had that opportunity to change.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
Age protects love not, but love protects up to a certain degree before age.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
I don't like the idea of separating life and work. That notion seems dated and a bit alien to me.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
Nostalgia is when you want things to stay the same. I know so many people staying in the same place.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
In making dinner for a friend, don't forget the love.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
I'm always amazed when young women who are having babies want their husbands to watch the babies come out. I would never allow anything like that.
