Francois Truffaut

When humor can be made to alternate with melancholy, one has a success, but when the same things are funny and melancholic at the same time, it's just wonderful.

Some day I'll make a film that critics will like. When I have money to waste.

The film of tomorrow will be an act of love.

Reflection is a flower of the mind, giving out wholesome fragrance; but revelry is the same flower, when rank and running to seed.

I prefer to stay poor.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.
