I was hungry. I was cold. But...

I was hungry. I was cold. But I was also free. Free not to get up in the morning, not to go to bed at night, free to get drunk if I liked, to dream... to hope.

Edith Piaf 53 quotes

I always thought my days spen...

I always thought my days spent in darkness [as a child she had cataracts and was unable to see for nearly four years] gave me a very special sensitivity. Much later, when I really wanted to hear, really 'see' a song, I'd close my eyes, and when I wanted to bring it out of the very depths of myself, out of my guts, out of my belly, when the song had to come from far away, I'd close my eyes.

Edith Piaf 53 quotes

Never acknowledge the limitat...

Never acknowledge the limitations of man. Smash all boundaries! Deny whatever your eyes see. Die every moment, but say: "Death does not exist."

Edith Piaf 53 quotes

I'm the only one who still be...

I'm the only one who still believes in Santa Claus!

Edith Piaf 53 quotes

Every damn fool thing you do ...

I can die now. I've lived twice.

Edith Piaf 53 quotes

Americans want beauties, not ...

Americans want beauties, not me. I’m not the Parisian bombshell they expected. Can you see me as a chorus girl? Where’s my feather up the ass? They think I’m sad, they’re dumb. I don’t connect to them

Edith Piaf 53 quotes

When he takes me in his arms,...

When he takes me in his arms, and speaks to me softly, I see the world through rose-colored glasses.

Edith Piaf 53 quotes

Performers and their public s...

Performers and their public should never meet. Once the curtain comes down, the performer should fly away like a magician's dove.

I've been thinking about Jesus. Don't you find it a bit strange that, since He was living with His family and all, He up and left them just when they needed him most?

Money? How did I lose it? I never did lose it. I just never knew where it went.

Don't care what people say. Don't give a damn about their laws.

I don't want to die an old lady.

Edith Piaf 53 quotes

As far as I'm concerned, love means fighting, big fat lies, and a couple of slaps across the face.

Edith Piaf 53 quotes

People say that I could sing ...

People say that I could sing the phone book and make it sound good.

Edith Piaf 53 quotes

I've always wanted to sing, j...

I've always wanted to sing, just as I've always known that one day I would have my own niche in the annals of song. It was a feeling I had.

Edith Piaf 53 quotes

If God has allowed me to earn...

If God has allowed me to earn so much money, it is because He knows I give it all away.

Edith Piaf 53 quotes

Tell me what you'd like to he...

Tell me what you'd like to hear me sing. I'll sing whatever you like, after which I'll take up a collection, if you don't mind.
