«Le poète est un mensonge qui dit toujours la vérité.»
Jean Cocteau, Secrets de Beauté (1948)
Translation:
The poet is a lie that always speaks the truth
Often misquoted, misinterpreted or mistranslated as "The poet is a liar who always speaks the truth" or "I am a lie who always speaks the truth". (
Another quote from Jean Cocteau that I like:
"Il n’existe que deux manières de gagner la partie: jouer coeur ou tricher. Tricher est difficile... Jouer coeur est simple. Il faut en avoir, voilà tout. Vous vous croyez sans coeur. Vous regardez mal vos cartes.”
---Jean Cocteau, Lettre à Jacques Maritain (1926)
Translation:
There is only two ways for one to play one's hand and win: playing heart or cheating. Cheating is difficult...Playing heart is easy. All one needs is some heart, and all follows. You believe yourself without heart. You're just not looking at you cards hard enough.

| An undergraduate student's papier mache sculpture of Obama as a messianic figure — entitled "Blessing" — went on display Saturday at a downtown gallery run by the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. By Monday, word of the piece had spread on political blogs, and the school had been flooded with calls.
David Cordero, 24, made the sculpture for his senior show after noticing all the attention Obama has received since he first hinted he may run for the presidency.
"All of this is a response to what I've been witnessing and hearing, this idea that Barack is sort of a potential savior that might come and absolve the country of all its sins," Cordero said. "In a lot of ways it's about caution in assigning all these inflated expectations on one individual, and expecting them to change something that many hands have shaped."
Obama's campaign worked Monday to the distance the Illinois senator from the artwork.

David Allen Bawden (born September 22, 1959), is an American citizen who was appointed "Pope Michael I". He was elected by a group of six conclavists, that included himself and his parents, to fill the vacancy they consider to have been caused by the death of Pope Pius XII in 1958. Unlike other papal pretenders, David Bawden's election did not involve any previously ordained clergy from the Catholic Church. As he is not and has never been ordained a priest, David Bawden has never offered a Mass as "pope."
