Zitat des Tages über Französisch / French:

If it's not American, the French won't go see it. Norman Spinrad

One bites into the brass mouthpiece of his wooden cudgel, and the other blows his cheeks out on a French horn. Do you call that Art?

Franz Schubert

I had art as a major, along with English, French and History. I had dance, modern dance. In English I was allowed to write my own poetry, which I eventually got published.

Sally Kirkland

First need in the reform of hospital management? That's easy! The death of all dietitians, and the resurrection of a French chef.

Martin H. Fischer

My mother likes what I cook, but doesn't think it's French. My wife is Puerto Rican and Cuban, so I eat rice and beans. We have a place in Mexico, but people think I'm the quintessential French chef.

Jacques Pepin

'Il faut vivre' might almost be the French national motto from 1940 to June 1944, but who is to say ours would have been any different if the Germans had paraded victoriously through London and Generalfeldmarschall Von Runstedt made his headquarters at Claridge's?

Michael Korda

Even the Impressionists, the most innovative artists of their time, sought to paint realistically. They believed that their freer way of portraying the visible world was truer to life than the literal realism of the 'salon painters' who dominated French art throughout the 19th century.

Terry Teachout

French Yemeni relations are strong and good, they are relations depending on friendship and cooperation; my relationship with the president Chiraq are old and real.

Ali Abdullah Saleh

You know, in 1975 I couldn't get a job in New York City because I was American. The kitchens were predominantly run by French, Swiss, German, and basically I got laughed at. I had education, I had experience, but got laughed at because I was American.

Emeril Lagasse

I speak French fluently, so that really helped.

Noah Hathaway

The French revolution taught us the rights of man.

Thomas Sankara

What is jazz? It, It's almost like asking, What is French? Jazz is a musical language. It's a musical dialect that actually embodies the spirit of America.

Branford Marsalis

I love Feist. I love Francoise Hardy. She was a French singer-songwriter in the '60s who was pretty huge. I think I'm drawn to her sincerity. I love Fiona Apple, too - she's quirky and really honest in her lyrics.

Yuna

If it's not American, the French won't go see it.

Norman Spinrad

Only the French, I guess, really use tenor and alto to any great extent in the orchestra.

Gerry Mulligan

When I'm up on stage, I don't think about anything except the song I'm singing. Anyway, the majority of my audience is female, and I can't think that many of them want to see me a French maid outfit somehow!

Louise Nurding

I may be French, but I'm playing for Arsenal.

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.

Carla Bruni

To understand Europe, you have to be a genius - or French.

Madeleine Albright

I'm religious about salted butter. I don't understand how it happened that everyone thought we should all have sweet butter. I blame the French.

Nora Ephron

There would probably be less of a frenzy among the French public.

Michel Patini

There's something really admirable about French culture and an attraction in how independent it is from our own. So, it's odd that in other countries that are very American-influenced - who seem to care more about the Oscars than anyone here does - there's both anti-Americanism and also too much America.

Whit Stillman

Maybe I am not French, maybe I am from nowhere.

Alain Prost

I've played American, Italian, Greek, French. I've been really lucky that way.

Chita Rivera

Situationism is a ludicrous proposition. It's ill-formed and it's perfectly French. That Gallic disposition towards common sense. L'Anarchie!

John Lydon

It's quite a famous story that takes place on Christmas Eve, and the Germans, French, and Scottish are trying to make peace one night and they bury their dead and they play football. I play a German opera singer, in German, which I never have so I am really excited about that.

Diane Kruger

We used to be referred to as bakers and then we became known as cake decorators and now we are known as cake designers. I teach at the French Culinary Institute in New York and cake design is a legitimate profession.

Ron Ben-Israel

I feel a little schizophrenic because my life is so totally different from here, obviously. And the French values are so different from American values.

Adrian Lyne

Many French directors, having now realised there was no more real criticism, that the standards of the past have gone, are very offended about the quality of film criticism.

Wim Wenders

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.

Lou Doillon

I'm quite into the French way - simple elegance with just a suggestion of sexiness, nothing vulgar.

Michelle Dockery

I don't think the woman in French 'Vogue' was an object. She was always a real woman.

Carine Roitfeld

Once you understand the foundations of cooking - whatever kind you like, whether it's French or Italian or Japanese - you really don't need a cookbook anymore.

Thomas Keller

Over 30 years ago, Airbus was founded by a European consortium of French, German, and later Spanish and British companies to compete in the large commercial aircraft industry with U.S. companies.

Norm Dicks

In each restaurant, I develop a different culinary sensibility. In Paris, I'm more classic, because that's what customers like. In Monaco, it's classic Mediterranean haute cuisine. In London, it's a contemporary French restaurant that I've developed with a U.K. influence and my French know-how.

Alain Ducasse

The French are true romantics. They feel the only difference between a man of forty and one of seventy is thirty years of experience.

Maurice Chevalier

Then I took 8 years of French Horn, first jazz, and then classical.

Jim Coleman
