And the world’s best-known mime artist, Marcel Marceau, has died at the age of 84. For decades he moved audiences across the globe without uttering a single word. Off stage, he often discussed the power of his art.

Marcel Marceau: “I’m sure that you can be young, and you have to be careful about your heart. And you can be old and have a young heart. But it’s very difficult to speak about this, because there is a certain injustice. Not everybody is equal. Not everybody has the same health. There are so many people who are in difficulty of life. But you have to bring them — through television, through films, through books or art, you bring them the mystery of still dreaming and hoping until the last moment, that life, I would say, can be beautiful, even if it is sometimes harsh.”
