Excuse me if I'm clinging on to life, but my parents wove me from tight thread.
— Jeanne Calment
Not having children is one less worry. Children are a worry!
In life, people sometimes make rotten deals.
He who hugs too much, hugs badly!
I'm not afraid of anything.
Death doesn't frighten me; now I can think peacefully of ending a long life.
Every age has its happiness and troubles.
I took pleasure when I could. I acted clearly and morally and without regret. I'm very lucky.
I have legs of iron, but to tell you the truth, they're starting to rust and buckle a bit.
I'm interested in everthing but passionate about nothing.
I didn't like mundane life.
I wait for death and journalists.
I think I will die laughing.
I see badly, I hear badly, and I feel bad, but everything's fine.
I've only got one wrinkle, and I'm sitting on it.
Always keep your smile. That's how I explain my long life.
I never wear mascara; I laugh until I cry too often.
Wit doesn't make girls pretty.
I'd like to go to the Moon.
All babies are beautiful.
There are so many good authors; there's no shortage of them.
I've been forgotten by our Good Lord.
