Famous quotes containing the words french and/or ship:

    The French Revolution gave birth to no artists but only to a great journalist, Desmoulins, and to an under-the-counter writer, Sade. The only poet of the times was the guillotine.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    Have you built your ship of death, O have you?
    O build your ship of death, for you will need it.
