Famous quotes containing the word france:

    “The bugle-call to arms again sounded in my war-trained ear, the bayonets gleamed, the sabres clashed, and the Prussian helmets and the eagles of France stood face to face on the borders of the Rhine.... I remembered our own armies, my own war-stricken country and its dead, its widows and orphans, and it nerved me to action for which the physical strength had long ceased to exist, and on the borrowed force of love and memory, I strove with might and main.”
    —Clara Barton (1821–1912)

    ““Eh Bien you like this sacred pig of a country?” asked Marco.
    “Why not? I like it anywhere. It’s all the same, in France you are paid badly and live well; here you are paid well and live badly.””
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    “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)
