Jacques Chirac/first Cohabitation 1986-1988 and Desert Crossing

Famous quotes containing the words cohabitation, desert and/or crossing:

    Not cohabitation but consensus constitutes marriage.
    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)

    The change of Philomel, by the barbarous king
    So rudely forced: yet there the nightingale
    Filled all the desert with inviolable voice
    And still she cried, and still the world pursues,
    “Jug Jug” to dirty ears.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    This was charming, no doubt: but they shortly found out
    That the Captain they trusted so well
    Had only one notion for crossing the ocean,
    And that was to tingle his bell.
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
