Jeanne Calment

I'd like to go to the Moon.

Excuse me if I'm clinging on to life, but my parents wove me from tight thread.

I have legs of iron, but to tell you the truth, they're starting to rust and buckle a bit.

Not having children is one less worry. Children are a worry!

I'm interested in everthing but passionate about nothing.

I never wear mascara; I laugh until I cry too often.

In life, people sometimes make rotten deals.

I didn't like mundane life.

Wit doesn't make girls pretty.

He who hugs too much, hugs badly!

I wait for death and journalists.

I think I will die laughing.

All babies are beautiful.

Death doesn't frighten me; now I can think peacefully of ending a long life.

There are so many good authors; there's no shortage of them.

Every age has its happiness and troubles.

I've been forgotten by our Good Lord.

I took pleasure when I could. I acted clearly and morally and without regret. I'm very lucky.

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.
