Famous quotes containing the word france:
“Eh Bien you like this sacred pig of a country? asked Marco.
Why not? I like it anywhere. Its all the same, in France you are paid badly and live well; here you are paid well and live badly.”
—John Dos Passos (18961970)
“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)
“The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets or steal bread.”
—Anatole France (18441924)
