Devenir immortel et puis mourir...

Jean Seberg's famous interview of Jean-Pierre Melville from the film Breathless by Jean-Luc Godard is one that still rings true to this day... Whether it's the comparison of American women to French women or the thoughts on love and eroticism, Jean-Pierre Melville's philosophy still holds true to this day. The most famous line from this interview and perhaps one of the best from the film is when Seberg asks what Melville's "greatest ambition in life is"... Melville simply replies, "devenir immortel et puis mourir": To become immortal, and then die.... This is an eternal statement and the meaning can not be more clear: Live your life as if your actions will be forever remembered, and once you've accomplished that, then you can die knowing you've made a difference.
