Famous quotes containing the word france:
“The good critic is he who relates the adventures of his soul among masterpieces.”
—Anatole France (1844–1924)
“It is not what France gave you but what it did not take from you that was important.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“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 (1579–1688)
