Life is a horizontal fall.
--Jean Cocteau
During a recent interview I was asked the old college application question, "If you could have dinner with 3 people from any time in history, who would you invite and why?" It's a goofy cliché; the answer is supposed to reveal your personality, but inevitably becomes something self-conscious and overbearing.
Being shy around strangers, I'd be poor company--but I imagine Jean Cocteau would be a brilliant guest: artistic, energetic, and elegant, no doubt amazing the other two guests pulled from history and puzzled to be at my table.
