Author of quotes: Sarah Bernhardt

Life is too short even for centenarians. Life is only for those who know you well and appreciates, and, when judged, will always justify, to those whom you treat with the same affection and the same leniency. Everything else - the crowd, happy or sad, loyal or treacherous, from which we should expect only fleeting feelings, pleasant or unpleasant emotions that leave no trace.

Legend always takes precedence over story.

My glory was infuriating my enemies and annoy my friends.

The public prefers to believe the rumors rather bad than good.

Great is the artist who makes the audience forget about the details.

Before the performance "Lady with camellias":
If the public today is to act up, I'll die in the second act.

The gesture should reflect thought, it is harmonious or stupid depending on, the smart artist or not.

The actor, who in everyday life can be of service to a woman in distress, and never think to help her on stage.

Dramatic art is primarily female art. In fact, the desire to decorate themselves, to hide true feelings, the desire to be liked and attract attention - the weakness that often put women in reproach and which invariably be lenient.

To succeed, you need to be charming. The charm manifests itself in everything and nothing at the same time - in coming from your energy, the look, the gait, the stature, the sound of the voice, graceful gestures. It is not necessary to be recognized as handsome or beautiful, the main thing - to have the personal charm.

Everything that happens to us is contrary to logic and wise foresight.

Love to give advice and it is not like when they give me.

To forgive does not mean forget.
