Jean Cocteau

So I did'nt know about Jean Cocteau until today, apparently he's a big deal and was a really cool guy. I came across one of his quotes while looking for images for a storyboard (I know, weird), and I really like it . 
Had a strange resonance. Not sure If I  get it,get it... but maybe in a few years?
