Text Quotes
If a hermit lives in a state of ecstasy, his lack of comfort becomes the height of comfort. He must relinquish it (Jean Cocteau Quotes)
Man seeks to escape himself in myth, and does so by any means at his disposal. Drugs, alcohol, or lies. Unable to withdraw into himself, he disguises himself. Lies and inaccuracy give him a few moments of comfort (Jean Cocteau Quotes)
Mystery has its own mysteries, and there are gods above gods. We have ours, they have theirs. That is what’s known as infinity (Jean Cocteau Quotes)
One of the characteristics of the dream is that nothing surprises us in it. With no regret, we agree to live in it with strangers, completely cut off from our habits and friends (Jean Cocteau Quotes)
Poets don’t draw. They unravel their handwriting and then tie it up again, but differently (Jean Cocteau Quotes)
Take a commonplace, clean it and polish it, light it so that it produces the same effect of youth and freshness and originality and spontaneity as it did originally, and you have done a poet’s job. The rest is literature (Jean Cocteau Quotes)
The ear disapproves but tolerates certain musical pieces; transfer them into the domain of our nose, and we will be forced to flee (Jean Cocteau Quotes)
There are too many souls of wood not to love those wooden characters who do indeed have a soul (Jean Cocteau Quotes)
There are truths which one can only say after having won the right to say them (Jean Cocteau Quotes)
There is always a period when a man with a beard shaves it off. This period does not last. He returns headlong to his beard (Jean Cocteau Quotes)
True realism consists in revealing the surprising things which habit keeps covered and prevents us from seeing (Jean Cocteau Quotes)
When a work appears to be ahead of its time, it is only the time that is behind the work (Jean Cocteau Quotes)
It is difficult to live without opium after having known it because it is difficult, after knowing opium, to take earth seriously. And unless one is a saint, it is difficult to live without taking earth seriously (Jean Cocteau Quotes)
Nothing ever gets anywhere. The earth keeps turning round and gets nowhere. The moment is the only thing that counts (Jean Cocteau Quotes)
Wealth is an inborn attitude of mind, like poverty. The pauper who has made his pile may flaunt his spoils, but cannot wear them plausibly (Jean Cocteau Quotes)
He has the manner of a giant with the look of a child, a lazy activeness, a mad wisdom, a solitude encompassing the world (Jean Cocteau Quotes)
The joy of youth is to disobey; but the trouble is that there are no longer any orders (Jean Cocteau Quotes)
Look out! Be on your guard, because alone of all the arts, music moves all around you (Jean Cocteau Quotes)
Such is the role of poetry. It unveils, in the strict sense of the word. It lays bare, under a light which shakes off torpor, the surprising things which surround us and which our senses record mechanically (Jean Cocteau Quotes)
A car can massage organs which no masseur can reach. It is the one remedy for the disorders of the great sympathetic nervous system (Jean Cocteau Quotes)
One is either judge or accused. The judge sits, the accused stands. Live on your feet (Jean Cocteau Quotes)
Be a mere assistant to your unconscious. Do only half the work. The rest will do itself (Jean Cocteau Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Picasso said that everything is a miracle, that it’s a miracle that we don’t dissolve in our baths (Jean Cocteau Quotes)
Without opium, plans, marriages and journeys appear to me just as foolish as if someone falling out of a window were to hope to make friends with the occupants of the room before which he passes (Jean Cocteau Quotes)
I’m not willing just to be tolerated. That wounds my love of love and of liberty (Jean Cocteau Quotes)
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 Quotes)
A man’s truest self realizations might require him, above all, to learn to close his eyes: to let himself be taken unawares, to follow his dark angel, to risk his illegal instincts (Jean Cocteau Quotes)
If a poet has a dream, it is not of becoming famous, but of being believed (Jean Cocteau Quotes)
One should always talk well about oneself! The word spreads around and in the end, noone remembers where it started (Jean Cocteau Quotes)
