Famous quotes containing the word france:

    “The best of America drifts to Paris. The American in Paris is the best American. It is more fun for an intelligent person to live in an intelligent country. France has the only two things toward which we drift as we grow older—intelligence and good manners.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

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

    “In France one must adapt oneself to the fragrance of a urinal.”
    —Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
