Famous quotes containing the words france, masters and/or draw:
“It is not enough that France should be regarded as a country which enjoys the remains of a freedom acquired long ago. If she is still to count in the world—and if she does not intend to, she may as well perish—she must be seen by her own citizens and by all men as an ever-flowing source of liberty. There must not be a single genuine lover of freedom in the whole world who can have a valid reason for hating France.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
“I took the standpoint that the profession of technologist, a man who masters matter, is a masculine profession, if not the only masculine profession there is.”
—Max Frisch (1911–1991)
“Listen, little Elia: draw your chair up close to the edge of the precipice and I’ll tell you a story.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
