Jeanne Calment

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

I'm interested in everthing but passionate about nothing.

I think I will die laughing.

I've been forgotten by our Good Lord.

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

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

In life, people sometimes make rotten deals.

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

Wit doesn't make girls pretty.

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.

I didn't like mundane life.

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

I'm not afraid of anything.

All babies are beautiful.

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

I'd like to go to the Moon.

I wait for death and journalists.

He who hugs too much hugs badly

Every age has its happiness and troubles.

Always keep your smile. That's how I explain my long life.

He who hugs too much, hugs badly!

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