French Quotes

I was sucked into it all Picture Quote #1

There are two miracles in Canadian history. The first is the survival of French Canada, and the second is the survival of Canada Picture Quote #1

I remember in 1968 when we were in Cannes, in the festival, and we were supposed to be there 10 days, and the second day the festival collapsed because the French, you know, film-makers raised the red flag in the festival and ended the festival Picture Quote #1

In terms of foods for me, I think I have more of the usual associations - foods from childhood that I associate with care and love, from relatives or special restaurants like the kind elderly man who dusted seasoning salt on French fries at the corner burger joint Picture Quote #1

The modern tradition is the tradition of revolt. The French Revolution is still our model today: history is violent change, and this change goes by the name of progress. I do not know whether these notions really apply to art Picture Quote #1

A nation that is hungry for God will not go hungry. Duffy French, book character Picture Quote #1

Like a jerk, I went to a nutritionist and I ate the most repulsive, awful things. I didn’t allow myself to eat chocolate cake and french fries and cheeseburgers Picture Quote #1

The stubby French painter Toulouse-Lautrec supposedly invented chocolate mousse - I find that rather hard to believe, but there you have it Picture Quote #1

The French people have chosen change. This change I will put into place Picture Quote #1

My parents, of Belgian-German extraction, were Belgian nationals who had taken refuge in England during the war.
