Birth: February 21, 1875 Death: August 4, 1997
I'm not afraid of anything..
Always keep a smile. I attribute my long life to that. I believe I will die laughing. That's part of my program..
Excuse me if I'm clinging on to life, but my parents wove me from tight thread..
Every age has its happiness and troubles..
My sight is bad, my hearing is bad, I feel bad, but I don't suffer, I don't complain..
When I'm laid in my coffin, I want you to put a picture of my grandchild to the right of me and and a picture of my daughter to my left. That way theā¦.
Always keep your smile. That's how I explain my long life..
I had to wait 110 years to become famous. I wanted to enjoy it as long as possible..
I see badly, I hear badly, and I feel bad, but everything's fine..
I wait for death and journalists..
I'd like to go to the Moon..
He who hugs too much, hugs badly!.
[On being the oldest living human being:] God must have forgotten me..
I didn't like mundane life..
In life, people sometimes make rotten deals..
I've been forgotten by our Good Lord..
I think I will die laughing..
I'm interested in everthing but passionate about nothing..
I never wear mascara; I laugh until I cry too often..
There are so many good authors; there's no shortage of them..
Wit doesn't make girls pretty..
