The truth, the absolute truth...

The truth, the absolute truth, is that the chief beauty for the theatre consists in fine bodily proportions.

Sarah Bernhardt 65 quotes

Permanent success cannot be a...

Permanent success cannot be achieved except by incessant intellectual labour, always inspired by the ideal.

Sarah Bernhardt 65 quotes

For the theatre one needs long arms... an artiste with short arms can never make a fine gesture.

Life begets life. Energy creates energy. It is by spending oneself that one becomes rich.

Sarah Bernhardt 65 quotes

To be a good actor... it is n...

To be a good actor... it is necessary to have a firmly tempered soul, to be surprised at nothing, to resume each minute the laborious task that has barely just been finished.

Sarah Bernhardt 65 quotes

I have often been asked why I am so fond of playing male parts. As a matter of fact, it is not male parts, but male brains that I prefer.

Each action of the actor on the stage should be the visible concomitant of his thoughts.

Sarah Bernhardt 65 quotes

What matters poverty? What matters anything to him who is enamoured of our art? Does he not carry in himself every joy and every beauty?

Sarah Bernhardt 65 quotes

You must have this charm to re...

You must have this charm to reach the pinnacle. It is made of everything and of nothing, the striving will, the look, the walk, the proportions of the body, the sound of the voice, the ease of the gestures. It is not at all necessary to be handsome or to be pretty; all that is needful is charm.

Art is not about something, Art is something

The monster of advertisement.....

The monster of advertisement...is a sort of octopus with innumerable tentacles. It throws out to right and left, in front and behind, its clammy arms, and gathers in, through its thousand little suckers, all the gossip and slander and praise afloat...

Sarah Bernhardt 65 quotes

The artist's personality must ...

The artist's personality must be left in his dressing-room; his soul must be denuded of its own sensations and clothed with the base or noble qualities he is called upon to exhibit.... [he] must leave behind him the cares and vexations of life, throw aside his personality for several hours, and move in the dream of another life, forgetting everything.

Sarah Bernhardt 65 quotes

Alas, we are the victims of ad...

Alas, we are the victims of advertisement. Those who taste the joys and sorrows of fame when they have passed forty, know how to look after themselves. They know what is concealed beneath the flowers, and what the gossip, the calumnies, and the praise are worth. But as for those who win fame when they are twenty, they know nothing, and are caught up in the whirlpool.

Sarah Bernhardt 65 quotes

... actors of the first water ...

... actors of the first water are not more plentiful than playwrights of genius.

[When asked at age 79 why her Paris apartment was located up many flights of stairs at the top of the building:] It's the only way I can still make the hearts of men beat faster.

Sarah Bernhardt 65 quotes

One should hate very little, because it's extremely fatiguing. One should despise much, forgive often and never forget. Pardon does not bring with it forgetfulness; at least not for me.

Sarah Bernhardt 65 quotes

Slow down? Rest? With all eternity before me?

It is by spending oneself that one becomes rich.

Sarah Bernhardt 65 quotes

What would life be without art...

What would life be without art? Science prolongs life. To consist of what-eating, drinking, and sleeping? What is the good of living longer if it is only a matter of satisfying the requirements that sustain life? All this is nothing without the charm of art.

Sarah Bernhardt 65 quotes

We ought to hate very rarely, ...

We ought to hate very rarely, as it is too fatiguing; remain indifferent to a great deal, forgive often and never forget.
