Famous quotes containing the word france:

    “The best of America drifts to Paris. The American in Paris is the best American. It is more fun for an intelligent person to live in an intelligent country. France has the only two things toward which we drift as we grow older—intelligence and good manners.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    “The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets or steal bread.”
    —Anatole France (1844–1924)

    “The moment Germany rises as a great power, France gains a new importance as a cultural power.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
