France cannot be destroyed. She is an old country who, despite her misfortunes, has, and always will have, thanks to her past, a tremendous prestige in the world, whatever the fate inflicted upon her.

You know how arrogant the French are - extraordinary.

The French are simply incapable of telling the truth.

France will always be France no matter what, but America involves striving toward an ideal.

France needs to find something that makes it stand out. It's not enough for it to do almost as well as its neighbors.

I think France should be free, independent, and be the cultural heart of the world because those play a balance in the world.

French are what they are without excusing themselves to be.

France can never accept that it is no longer a dominating power in the world of culture. This is true both of the French right and the French left. They keep thinking that Americans are primitive cowboys or farmers who do not understand anything.

The French suffered such catastrophic losses in the First World War. It really was the end of them as a great world power, although they, quote, 'won.'

I do not separate France from Europe.
