Famous quotes containing the words french and/or politician:
“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)
“... if you’re a woman, all they can think about your relationship with a politician is that you’re either sleeping with him or advising him about clothes.”
—Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)
