Born French Citizen

Famous quotes containing the words born, french and/or citizen:

    the whole seems to fall into a shape
    As if I saw alike my work and self
    And all that I was born to be and do,
    A twilight-piece. Love, we are in God’s hand.
    Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    The third day of Christmas,
    My true love sent to me
    Three French hens,
    —Unknown. The Twelve Days of Christmas (l. 8–10)

    Loss of freedom seldom happens overnight. Oppression doesn’t stand on the doorstep with toothbrush moustache and swastika armband—it creeps up insidiously ... step by step, and all of a sudden the unfortunate citizen realises that it is gone.
    Baron Lane (b. 1918)
