Jean Cocteau
  • A film is a petrified fountain of thought.

  • All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it.

  • I love cats because I enjoy my home and little by little, they become its visible soul.

  • The poet doesn't invent. He listens.

  • A true poet does not bother to be poetical. Nor does a nursery gardener scent his roses.
