French Quotes

The scientific and societal achievements of the modern age are undisputable. But after the French Revolution, modernity increasingly emancipated itself from Christian roots, thereby becoming rootless itself Picture Quote #1

Women in the Arab world have a rich history in their active participation in political change from the Algeria revolution against the French occupation to the most recent revolution in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya among other countries. The question is not their participation. Their question is the incorporation of women’s voices fully in the new definitions of the countries where change has happened Picture Quote #1

The whole history between Haiti and the Dominican Republic is complicated. We share the island of Hispaniola, and Haiti occupied the Dominican Republic for twenty-two years after 1804 for fear that the French and Spanish would come back and reinstitute slavery. So we have this unique situation of being two independent nations on the same island, but with each community having its own grievance Picture Quote #1

I met this wonderful guy who owned an old pub near the Eiffel Tower called Malone’s (he’s French but it’s an Irish name). He had a cellar with a piano and told me I could use it whenever I wanted to. I played lots of gigs down there. When I came back I played a show at the Knitting Factory Picture Quote #1

I mean, already in the French Revolution, the harpsichord becomes identified with the aristocracy, with the ancien regime. Plus, hey, you know, I mean, harpsichord is a really easy target, isn’t it? I mean, it’s - it’s just how it is Picture Quote #1

We take it into account from the very beginning and try to steer couples toward items that lend themselves to those circumstances. Sometimes we have to steer a little more forcefully - you can’t fry French fries in the New York Public Library Picture Quote #1

I try to have no absolute nos. I love french fries, I like a good burger, and I like pie. And that’s okay Picture Quote #1

My sister Mathilde is an actress, but more like a French Jennifer Aniston. She’s famous just in France. She’s very commercial and does big comedies. So, acting was part of my family, and that’s how I was raised Picture Quote #1

I don’t feel like I have to be nationalistic French because I’m afraid of losing whatever. No, no, no, no. And also I don’t think we are the best Picture Quote #1

In French you say, I’m alone against the world and that means I hate everybody and everybody’s against me Picture Quote #1

In the Middle Ages, I think the French kings murdered slightly fewer of their family members than the English kings, though I haven’t actually counted the heads Picture Quote #1

English people don’t have very good diction. In France you have to pronounce very particularly and clearly, and learning French at an early age helped me enormously Picture Quote #1

When you live in Paris, and fashion is such a point of pride for the French, it’s always around and you’re very much exposed to it from an early age. It was always something I knew about and really liked Picture Quote #1

When I was in my teens and 20s, I looked to older Italian and French women. They always seemed so incredibly attractive to me because of their confidence. And because their faces had evidence of age: lines, dark circles, and half-lidded eyes, it made that confidence so rebellious. And that was incredibly attractive to me Picture Quote #1

It’s the golden age of French cinema again but it’s because Sarkozy had the guts to push through copyright law Picture Quote #1

All my life, I have loved balloons - all balloons - the heavy English sort, immense and round, that have to be pushed about, and the gay, light, gas-filled French ones that soar into the air the moment you let go of them Picture Quote #1

I do not dislike the French from the vulgar antipathy between neighboring nations, but for their insolent and unfounded air of superiority Picture Quote #1

When you go to watch a baseball game, when you go to watch an NBA game, when you watch an NFL game, when you go to watch movies, the offering that those arenas are doing foodwise is ‘all the hot dogs you can eat’ all the French fries you can eat; for $20 you can eat 20 hot dogs Picture Quote #1

I finish so many books it’s amazing. I’m also doing Rosetta Stone, learning some French Picture Quote #1

It’s amazing how you meet people through other people. I knew a racecar driver, Stefan Johansson, who was very hot. He introduced me to Jean Todt. He introduced me to a French doctor. He introduced me to a French architect who redid the Louvre with I.M. Pei. He introduced me to Daniel Boulud Picture Quote #1

In fact, it is amazing how much European films - Italian, French, German and English - have recovered a certain territory of the audience in their countries over the last few years Picture Quote #1

Here’s the irony in what I do: When I go out to eat, I like classic French food. I like amazing Japanese food that has such a history that it goes back hundreds of years. And I also like really innovative food as well Picture Quote #1

Everything French is amazing, especially creme brulee, but then burnt sugar works for me in any capacity Picture Quote #1
