Text Quotes
The American Revolution was a small part of a major world war going on between France and England, so the French intervened and that was a big factor, but the domestic contribution was basically guerrilla warfare.  (French Quotes) Watching President Obama apologize last week for America’s arrogance - before a French audience that owes its freedom to the sacrifices of Americans - helped convince me that he has a deep-seated antipathy toward American values and traditions.  (French Quotes) What I like about the American woman is she usually has a lot of dynamism. In the U.S., women have a tendency to go forward, to be more exaggerated than in Europe. Many times the rough ideas come from the States, then they are refined in Europe. The American women and the French women are still the best-dressed.  (French Quotes) To be with another woman, that is French. To be caught, that is American.  (French Quotes) Tom Ford once told me that he found French women sexier than American ones. He said: Americans are too clean . . . I took no offense.  (French Quotes) Cinco de Mayo is an important day. The Mexicans had to defend themselves from the French. It is historically significant, but it is not Mexican Independence Day.  (French Quotes) No one could touch the home cooking of an Italian woman. French women, they are very intelligent, very sexy - but they don’t like to cook.  (French Quotes) The French are pretty thin-skinned. The few times I mentioned a French writer in ‘City Boy,’ the relatives would ring up in high dudgeon. I once wrote a mocking review of Marguerite Duras in the ‘New York Review of Books,’ and good friends of mine in France got very angry.  (French Quotes) The United States dollar took another pounding on German, French and British exchanges this morning, hitting the lowest point ever known in West Germany.  (French Quotes) Jean-Marie Le Pen is a holocaust denier who was convicted and fined for dismissing Nazi concentration camps as a, quote, Detail in History. But he kept running this anti-immigrant, anti-Semitic, populist unapologetic xenophobic far right party in French politics.  (French Quotes) The Arab spring was not as radical as the French or Iranian revolutions. It did not pull out the deeply entrenched roots of the state. Instead, it was satisfied to replace the top of the pyramid with newly elected, but inexperienced, leaders.  (French Quotes) French architecture always manages to combine the most magnificent underlying themes of architecture; like Roman design, it looks to the community.  (French Quotes) This kind of painting with its large frames is a bourgeois drawing-room art. It is an art dealer’s art-and that came in after the civil wars following the French Revolution.  (French Quotes) Buncha Losers’ comedy is one of those homegrown American art forms, up there with infomercials and Elvis-shaped soap carvings. No other civilization could have invented it. The French took a stab with Sartre’s ‘No Exit,’ but then they had to ruin it with a lesson at the end.  (French Quotes) I became a pedant of the form. I did my graduate work in art history and particularly in the history of French satirical cartooning. And that made me aware of what a rich and resilient tradition this seemingly scabrous sacrilegious magazine still represented in French life.  (French Quotes) The people of Texas are rightly proud of their own, just like the French and the Italians, but visiting artists have often been given a shot in the history of art.  (French Quotes) The French peasant cuisine is at the basis of the culinary art. By this I mean it is composed of honest elements that la grande cuisine only embellishes  (French Quotes) For me to go casual is not to go simple. To me, it is to be able to bring back the art of tradition and the soul of French food and my interpretation of that.  (French Quotes) I’m going to start these art museums that are basically converted homes, and I have one for modern art, and I have one for 19th century European art, and one for French impressionism. I’ve got Japanese.  (French Quotes) From what I’ve read, everyone has a claim on Merlin. Was he Scottish, Welsh, English or even French? All these countries have got a big claim on him and Camelot. That’s why the Arthurian legends are so popular - because they are such good stories.  (French Quotes) When we played Paris, the English punks would come over, and they got to know the French punks. There was some nice scenes in the back alleys.  (French Quotes) I love Parisian hotels. I usually stay in either Le Bristol, which is gorgeous, or Hotel Paris Rivoli, which is very French and feels like a step back in time. I also love the luxury of Waldorf Astoria hotels.  (French Quotes) I sometimes think I should go back to school to learn French and music, but who would have me?  (French Quotes) In September 1968, Rush played for around 20 people at a small hall in a church basement. We played songs like ‘Spoonful,’ ‘Fire’ and ‘Born Under a Bad Sign,’ and got paid $10. Then we went to a nearby deli and ordered Cokes and French fries and started planning our future.  (French Quotes) I was born in Paris, and my mother was a French teacher, but then I rebelled against my upbringing and studied Spanish in school. So now I just speak bad French and bad Spanish.  (French Quotes) By now the crusaders had christened the most powerful French catapult ‘Mal Voisine’, or ‘Bad Neighbour’, while nicknaming the Muslim stone-thrower that targeted it for conter-bombardment ‘Mal Cousine’, or ‘Bad Relation’.  (French Quotes) I’m not the bake-sale-mom type - though once in a while, I’ll make challah French toast for my sons.  (French Quotes) The French don’t have a baseball team. And if they did, there’d only be a left field, and no one would be safe.  (French Quotes) The French want no-one to be their superior. The English want inferiors. The Frenchman constantly raises his eyes above him with anxiety. The Englishman lowers his beneath him with satisfaction.  (French Quotes) There is a painful joke that Europeans often tell of their Gallic neighbors: God created France, the most beautiful country in the world with so much good in it, and ended up feeling guilty about it. He had to do something to make it fair. And so, he created the French people.  (French Quotes)
