If people thought you were dying, they gave you their full attention. If this might be the last time they saw you, they really saw you. People listened instead of just waiting for their turn to speak. And when they spoke, they weren't telling you a story. When the two of you talked, you were building something, and afterward you were both different than before. Chuck Palahniuk, Fight ClubWe just had a near-life experience!

If people thought you were dying, they gave you their full attention. If this might be the last time they saw you, they really saw you.

Juliette Binoche
Acting is a tough business, and you need to be in good shape mentally and physically.
Juliette Binoche
Juliette Binoche
As an actress we don't beat one another. It's whoever's right for the part.
Juliette Binoche
Attraction is beyond our will or ideas sometimes.
Juliette Binoche
Before I thought there was a common denominator between my films - as if all my characters were sisters - but I'm not so sure now.
Juliette Binoche
Being a famous actress may give you a sense of being important, but believe me, it's just an illusion.
Juliette Binoche
But I think it's a little different in Europe, because 40 is really the best age for a woman. That's when we hit our peak and become this ripe fruit.
Juliette Binoche
But I've never felt that being an actress is being in a comfortable place. It's seen from the outside that we're being driven in big cars and having these gorgeous suites and all of that. But come on, it's not about that.
Juliette Binoche
But, you know, when I choose a film I need to believe in it and believe I can do something special with it, and after a while that means not trying to judge or analyze why I should do it. You have to follow this intuition thing, which is a mystery to me.
Juliette Binoche
Choosing to be in the theatre was a way to put my roots down somewhere with other people. It was a way to choose a new family.
Juliette Binoche
Each new film is like a trial. Before I step in front of the camera, I do not know whether I am going to fall or whether I am going to fly - and that is exactly the way I want it to stay.
Juliette Binoche
For me, habit is just a synonym for death.
Juliette Binoche
I believe that being an actress or being involved in a movie has to be a life experience, otherwise why go for it? I have to change me, and I have to learn things, and I have to push me and my limits. By acting, I find a freedom inside of a prison in a way.
Juliette Binoche
I don't believe in coincidence.
Juliette Binoche
I like travelling and if I have to come to Hollywood to make a movie I will, but otherwise I'd never move there. It's very much an industry town and that doesn't really interest me.
Juliette Binoche
I live for the present always. I accept this risk. I don't deny the past, but it's a page to turn.
Juliette Binoche
I never felt being an actor or making a movie was an easy thing to do.
Juliette Binoche
I sometimes feel like I could do another job. Anything. Maybe because as an actress you're playing different characters, everything feels possible.
Juliette Binoche
I think acting is about forgetting yourself in order to give the best of yourself. It's passing through you more than you're creating it. You're not the flower, but the vase which holds the flower.
Juliette Binoche
I think I am pretty much melancholic.
Juliette Binoche
I think it's the same simple thing for everyone - to be happy, and have love in your life.
Juliette Binoche

Sophia Loren
A woman's dress should be like a barbed-wire fence: serving its purpose without obstructing the view.
Sophia Loren
Sophia Loren
After all these years, I am still involved in the process of self-discovery. It's better to explore life and make mistakes than to play it safe. Mistakes are part of the dues one pays for a full life.
Sophia Loren
Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical.
Sophia Loren
Everything you see I owe to spaghetti.
Sophia Loren
Getting ahead in a difficult profession requires avid faith in yourself. That is why some people with mediocre talent, but with great inner drive, go so much further than people with vastly superior talent.
Sophia Loren
I am against all war.
Sophia Loren
I think the quality of sexiness comes from within. It is something that is in you or it isn't and it really doesn't have much to do with breasts or thighs or the pout of your lips.
Sophia Loren
I'm a giraffe. I even walk like a giraffe with a long neck and legs. It's a pretty dumb animal, mind you.
Sophia Loren
I've never tried to block out the memories of the past, even though some are painful. I don't understand people who hide from their past. Everything you live through helps to make you the person you are now.
Sophia Loren
If you haven't cried, your eyes can't be beautiful.
Sophia Loren
It is a great advantage for a system of philosophy to be substantially true.
Sophia Loren
It's a mistake to think that once you're done with school you need never learn anything new.
Sophia Loren
Mistakes are part of the dues one pays for a full life.
Sophia Loren
No press conference announcing a last film. I'd just steal away. Best way because, if by chance after two or three years something interesting comes up, I would not - like Sinatra - have to say: "Well, I've thought it over and decided to come back."
Sophia Loren
Sex appeal is fifty percent what you've got and fifty percent what people think you've got.
Sophia Loren
Sex is like washing your face - just something you do because you have to. Sex without love is absolutely ridiculous. Sex follows love, it never precedes it.
Sophia Loren
Spaghetti can be eaten most successfully if you inhale it like a vacuum cleaner.
Sophia Loren
The facts of life are that a child who has seen war cannot be compared with a child who doesn't know what war is except from television.
Sophia Loren
The two big advantages I had at birth were to have been born wise and to have been born in poverty.
Sophia Loren
There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age.
Sophia Loren
Noel Coward
Extraordinary how potent cheap music is.
Noel Coward
Noel Coward
I don't believe in astrology. The only stars I can blame for my failures are those that walk about the stage.
Noel Coward
I have a memory like an elephant. In fact, elephants often consult me.
Noel Coward
I have always paid income tax. I object only when it reaches a stage when I am threatened with having nothing left for my old age - which is due to start next Tuesday or Wednesday.
Noel Coward
I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.
Noel Coward
I love criticism just so long as it's unqualified praise.
Noel Coward
I'll go through life either first class or third, but never in second.
Noel Coward
I'm not a heavy drinker, I can sometimes go for hours without touching a drop.
Noel Coward
I've sometimes thought of marrying - and then I've thought again.
Noel Coward
If you must have motivation, think of your paycheck on Friday.
Noel Coward
It is discouraging how many people are shocked by honesty and how few by deceit.
Noel Coward
It's discouraging to think how many people are shocked by honesty and how few by deceit.
Noel Coward
Just say the lines and don't trip over the furniture.
Noel Coward
Let's drink to the spirit of gallantry and courage that made a strange Heaven out of unbelievable Hell, and let's drink to the hope that one day this country of ours, which we love so much, will find dignity and greatness and peace again.
Noel Coward
Mona Lisa looks as if she has just been sick, or is about to be.
Noel Coward
My body has certainly wandered a good deal, but I have an uneasy suspicion that my mind has not wandered enough.
Noel Coward
Never mind, dear, we're all made the same, though some more than others.
Noel Coward
People are wrong when they say opera is not what it used to be. It is what it used to be. That is what's wrong with it.
Noel Coward
Someday I suspect, when Jesus has definitely got me for a sunbeam, my works may be adequately assessed.
Noel Coward
Squash - that's not exercise, it's flagellation.

Cats are rather delicate creatures and they are subject to a good many different ailments, but I have never heard of one who suffered from insomnia.
Joseph Wood Krutch
Cats seem to go on the principle that it never does any harm to ask for what you want.
Joseph Wood Krutch

Childhood has its secrets and its mysteries; but who can tell or who can explain them!
Max Muller
Every life has its years in which one progresses as on a tedious and dusty street of poplars, without caring to know where he is.
Max Muller
How mankind defers from day to day the best it can do, and the most beautiful things it can enjoy, without thinking that every day may be the last one, and that lost time is lost eternity!
Max Muller
I believe I can even yet remember when I saw the stars for the first time.
Max Muller
I spend my happiest hours in reading Vedantic books. They are to me like the light of the morning, like the pure air of the mountains - so simple, so true, if once understood.
Max Muller
I was shortly again at the castle, and the Princess gave me her hand to kiss and then brought her children, the young princes and princesses, and we played together, as if we had known each other for years.
Max Muller
I was so astonished that another had penetrated so deeply into the secrets of my soul, and that he knew what I did not know myself, that when I recovered from it he had already been long upon the street.
Max Muller
Is it sin, which makes the worm a chrysalis, and the chrysalis a butterfly, and the butterfly dust?
Max Muller
It smote me to the heart that I had found no one in all the world who loved me more than all others.
Max Muller
Not far from our house, and opposite the old church with the golden cross, stood a large building, even larger than the church, and having many towers.
Max Muller
Of these years nought remains in memory but the sad feeling that we have advanced and only grown older.
Max Muller
Soon the child learns that there are strangers, and ceases to be a child.
Max Muller
That is the returning to God which in reality is never concluded on earth but yet leaves behind in the soul a divine home sickness, which never again ceases.
Max Muller
The first pages of memory are like the old family Bible. The first leaves are wholly faded and somewhat soiled with handling. But, when we turn further, and come to the chapters where Adam and Eve were banished from Paradise, then, all begins to grow clear and legible.
Max Muller
The spring of love becomes hidden and soon filled up.
Max Muller
Thus one memory follows another until the waves dash together over our heads, and a deep sigh swells the breast, which warns us that we have forgotten to breathe in the midst of these pure thoughts.
Max Muller
What is emitted from the divine, though it be only like the reflection from the fire, still has the divine reality in itself, and one might almost ask what were the fire without glow, the sun without light, or the Creator without the creature?
Max Muller
While the river of life glides along smoothly, it remains the same river; only the landscape on either bank seems to change.
Max Muller
