Film will only became an art when its materials are as inexp... - Jean Cocteau

"Life is a horizontal fall."

"An original artist is unable to copy. So he has only to copy in order to be original."

"An artist cannot speak about his art any more than a plant can discuss horticulture."

"The poet doesn't invent. He listens."

"Emotion resulting from a work of art is only of value when it is not obtained by sentimental blackmail."
