Political Scandals in France

Famous quotes containing the words political, scandals and/or france:

“Our democracy, our culture, our whole way of life is a spectacular triumph of the blah. Why not have a political convention without politics to nominate a leader who’s out in front of nobody?... Maybe our national mindlessness is the very thing that keeps us from turning into one of those smelly European countries full of pseudo-reds and crypto-fascists and greens who dress like forest elves.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)

“People who don’t like scandals shouldn’t be in finance.”
—Christina Stead (1902–1983)

“It is not what France gave you but what it did not take from you that was important.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
