Famous quotes containing the word paris:

    “Consider the China pride and stagnant self-complacency of mankind. This generation inclines a little to congratulate itself on being the last of an illustrious line; and in Boston and London and Paris and Rome, thinking of its long descent, it speaks of its progress in art and science and literature with satisfaction.... It is the good Adam contemplating his own virtue.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “C’est à Paris que je me coiffe
    Casque noir de jemenfoutiste.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “Nowhere is one more alone than in Paris ... and yet surrounded by crowds. Nowhere is one more likely to incur greater ridicule. And no visit is more essential.”
    —Marguerite Duras (b. 1914)
