Frankreich / France Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Frankreich / France:

I grew up in France, my first language was French, and I tend to gravitate towards French cooking. Robert Stack

I read many riveting escape-and-evade accounts of airmen and of the Resistance networks organized to hide them and then send them on grueling treks across the Pyrenees to safety. But it was the people I met in France and Belgium who made the period come alive for me. They had lived it.

Bobbie Ann Mason

I had to inspect all fighter units in Russia, Africa, Sicily, France, and Norway. I had to be everywhere.

Adolf Galland

In most of the European countries - France stands out in its resistance to this particular form of American cultural imperialism - the national film industries were forced onto the defensive after the war by such binding agreements.

Fredric Jameson

In France, I discovered that I love writing in the city. There's such an intensity to being in the city that matches the intensity of what you're experiencing in your head.

Tift Merritt

The first experiments on the biological properties of radium were successfully made in France, with samples from our laboratory, while my husband was living.

Marie Curie

The name of our country, France, still rings out like a call to freedom.

Marine Le Pen

France is no longer herself when she is folded in on herself, tormented by ignorance and intolerance. The country would plunge into decline if it refused to be itself, if it was afraid of the future, afraid of the world.

Francois Hollande

I am more than proud to be European. I love Europe, I love France, but I have an American mentality, and I don't know why. The way I see things, the way I talk, I'm the kind of person who, if I want to say something, I will say it - sometimes in Europe, it's not always what you need to do.

Thierry Henry

I must represent France, and I want to be elegant, and I want the French people to be proud of me, you know.

But do you know, I shall not be sorry to die. I shall be glad, Monsieur. And why glad, you ask? Because I love France and hate the Germans who have put this war on us.

Philip Gibbs

The American movie, in part because America's a melting pot, the cultural hodgepodge that America makes, generates movies that have appeal across all international boundaries. And that's really not true for most domestic film industries. It's no longer true of France and Italy, less true than it used to be of the U.K.

Howard Stringer

There is a racist attack against Muslims and Arabs, Algerians, Moroccans, and Tunisians in France.

Walid Jumblatt

When you're the oldest rider at the Tour de France, you really feel it.

Jens Voigt

I have often heard that the novel is dead. But I see novels produced, I don't know how many a week, in France. I have the impression it's carrying along quite well.

Nathalie Sarraute

Kickback is a police thriller which I wrote. I'm very proud of it. I did it in two parts for France because when I wrote it, there wasn't the audience demand for crime stuff that there is now.

David Lloyd

Otherwise, to be a movie star, it's a lot of compromise and also a lot of headaches. You can't do what you want. You become a prisoner of your fame. This happened to me in France and I don't want it.

Olivier Martinez

I think I was pretty much hated in France. The French press ignored me. There was a movement when the children of celebrities faced strong animosity.

Each had defended his own country; the Germans Germany, the Frenchmen France; they had done their duty.

France, famed in all great arts, in none supreme.

After World War I, while France and other Allies were building military defenses modeled on trench warfare, German commanders were shaping a nimble fighting force.

France, mother of arts, of warfare, and of laws.

France is the only nation in which astoundingly small numbers of civilized patrons reside.

Foreigners don't want to invest any more in France - and this is not working.

Karl Lagerfeld

Francois Hollande, the president of France, and Segolene Royal, a senior cabinet minister who once ran for that post herself, have an exceptionally complicated relationship. The two lived together for 25 years, raising four children over that time.

Elaine Sciolino

I stay in France. Better to be the queen of a village than a servant in a kingdom.

Emmanuelle Beart

I'm stuck somewhere a small island in the middle of the Atlantic where I'm alone. Because in France, they're like, 'No, you're not like us, you're not a French guy.' And in America, they're like, 'You're not like us.' I'm really alone in my little thing.

Louis Leterrier

Megalyn Echikunwoke

France is a fantastic country. It's between the Anglo-Saxon and Latin cultures. We have some of the Anglo-Saxon rigor, and some of the Latin quirkiness.

Xavier Niel

In France one must adapt oneself to the fragrance of a urinal.

Gertrude Stein
