Jean Cocteau
Take a commonplace, clean it and polish it, light it so that it produces the same effect of youth and freshness and originality and spontaneity as it did originally, and you have done a poet's job. The rest is literature.

Toga!...They do not love that do not show their love...Critics have a job to do. They do not criticise you...Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die...I like anywhere with a beach...Your body tells you what it needs...
