Famous quotes containing the words france and/or final:
“But as some silly young men returning from France affect a broken English, to be thought perfect in the French language; so his Lordship, I think, to seem a perfect understander of the unintelligible language of the Schoolmen, pretends an ignorance of his mother-tongue.

—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
“Dignity: the doomed man’s final refuge.”
—Max Frisch (1911–1991)
