Quote by Éric Rohmer

“What interests me is to show young people as they really [are], but also as they might be if they were fifty years old or a hundred years old, and the events of the film were taking place in ancient Greece, for things haven't changed all that much.”

“We think, for so long, that old age will never find us. We feel that we, as individuals, might somehow be exempt from it, that we might be given some sort of ticket that allows us to sidestep death, as one might a manhole cover, and carry on, whistling a tune. And then, one day, we find that our knees crack as we descend a staircase or someone offers us a seat on a tube train or we catch sight of ourselves in a shop window and think, Good God, that can't be me- so that we realize that no, we aren't exempt.”
