Famous quotes containing the word france:
“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. He talks here of command and counsel as if he were no Englishman, nor knew any difference between their significations.”
—Thomas Hobbes (15791688)
“France has lost a battle. But France has not lost the war!”
—Charles De Gaulle (18901970)
“In France one must adapt oneself to the fragrance of a urinal.”
—Gertrude Stein (18741946)
