Famous quotes containing the word france:

    “While learning the language in France a young man’s morals, health and fortune are more irresistibly endangered than in any country of the universe.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    “The anarchy, assassination, and sacrilege by which the Kingdom of France has been disgraced, desolated, and polluted for some years past cannot but have excited the strongest emotions of horror in every virtuous Briton. But within these days our hearts have been pierced by the recital of proceedings in that country more brutal than any recorded in the annals of the world.”
    —James Boswell (1740–1795)

    “It is not enough that France should be regarded as a country which enjoys the remains of a freedom acquired long ago. If she is still to count in the world—and if she does not intend to, she may as well perish—she must be seen by her own citizens and by all men as an ever-flowing source of liberty. There must not be a single genuine lover of freedom in the whole world who can have a valid reason for hating France.”
    —Simone Weil (1909–1943)
