01Undated

Age doesn’t protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age.

Jeanne Moreau / quote

02Undated

For me it's not possible to forget and I don't understand people who when the love is ended can bury the other person in hatred or oblivion. For me a man I have loved becomes a kind of brother.

Jeanne Moreau / quote

03Undated

Age does not protect you from love but love to some extent protects you from age.

Jeanne Moreau / quote

04Undated

I don't think success is harmful as so many people say. Rather I believe it indispensible to talent: if for nothing else than to increase the talent.

Jeanne Moreau / quote

05Undated

Success is like a liberation or the first phase of a love affair.

Jeanne Moreau / quote

06Undated

I work more now because at this time of my life I am not disturbed from my aim by outside pressures such as family, passionate relationships, dealing with 'who am I?' - those complications when one is searching for one's self.

Jeanne Moreau / quote

07Undated

Living is risking.

Jeanne Moreau / quote

08Undated

You don't have to be a wreck. You don't have to be sick. One's aim in life should be to die in good health. Just like a candle that burns out.

Jeanne Moreau / quote

09Undated

To go out with the setting sun on an empty beach is to truly embrace your solitude.

Jeanne Moreau / quote
