Good Quotes: Jean Cocteau

-Jean Cocteau

(Jean Cocteau did in fact have a soulful-looking cat. Here's a pic.)

My gf and I have already decided to get a dog (a Yorkie), but the more cats that have been shown this month are really winning me over! (Too bad I'm super allergic)

Ohhhh bigsoulfuleyes!

Now I'm motivated to drag the submissive cat out of the closet so she can be soulful in the living room with me.

Today is Tallulah's birthday! I got her a cardboard box and some toaster waffles.

Hey! I have a tattoo of this cat. I have never seen it anywhere since before having it done. Cool.

Jen, that is rad. I have a little dog that is a drawing by Yoshitomo Nara. A Jean Cocteau tattoo is brilliant, I love it.

this quote's been on my fridge for years,now thanks to you, the pic to go w/ it....

Q: which French, i think, artist or poet supposedly threw his/herself out the window when his cat died (think it was a man), or was that the distorted story, it was someone's lover's death that precipitated the leap (or was it cat>artist>lover?)

i'm not making it up/it's at least an urban myth, but i'm too groggy right how to remmember/google it; it's fun to see maybe who knows...
