Jean Cocteau on Art, Poetry and Creativity

“Style is a simple way of saying complicated things.”
“Art is science made clear.”
“A true poet does not bother to be poetical. Nor does a nursery gardener scent his roses.”
“Emotion resulting from a work of art is only of value when it is not obtained by sentimental blackmail.”

I could live here: Villa Santo Sospir - The house Jean Cocteau lived in

Villa Santo Sospir is Francine Weissweiller's villa in the South of France. Jean Cocteau used it for his two films in the sixties: 'La Villa Santo Sospir' and 'Testament of Orpheus'. And decided to stay there for 13 years.
