Jean Cocteau Quote

What is history after all? History is facts which become lies in the end; legends are lies which become history in the end.


As quoted in The Observer (22 September 1957)


What is history after all? History is facts which become lies in the end; legends are lies which become history in the end.

What is history after all? History is facts which become lies in the end; legends are lies which become history in the end.

What is history after all? History is facts which become lies in the end; legends are lies which become history in the end.

What is history after all? History is facts which become lies in the end; legends are lies which become history in the end.
