 ❝ Maybe this world is another planet's hell.

❝ If one's different, one's bound to be lonely.

from Brave New World, 1932

 
❝ The propagandist's purpose is to make one set of people forget that certain other sets of people are human. 

from The Olive Tree, 1936

 
❝ The man who comes back through the Door in the Wall 
will never be quite the same as the man who went out. 

from The Doors of Perception, 1954

Jean Cocteau 130th Birthday ♥♥

 



















Cocteau by Yousuf Karsh, 1949

♥♥♥


❝ Trouver d'abord, chercher après.

Find first, seek later.

❝ La poésie est une religion sans espoir. Le poète s'y épuise 
en sachant que le chef-d'œuvre n'est, après tout, qu'un numéro de chien savant sur une terre peu solide.

Poetry is a religion without hope. The poet exhausts himself in its service, knowing that, in the long run, a masterpiece is nothing but the performance of a trained dog on very shaky ground. 

from Journal d'un inconnu, De l'invisibilité (1953)

❝ Les rêves sont la littérature du sommeil. Même les plus étranges composent avec des souvenirs. Le meilleur d'un rêve s'évapore le matin. Il reste le sentiment d'un volume, le fantôme d'une péripétie, le souvenir d'un souvenir, l'ombre d'une ombre.

Dreams are the literature of sleep. Even the strangest ones make up with memories. The best of a dream evaporates in the morning. There remains the feeling of a volume, the ghost of an adventure, the memory of a memory, the shadow of a shadow. 

 from Essai de critique indirecte (1932)

- Jean Cocteau -

July 5, 1889 - October 11, 1963
