about the French There's always something fishy about the French. Noel Coward I do not dislike the French from the vulgar antipathy between neighbouring nations, but for their insolent and unfounded air of superiority. Horace Walpole Bouillabaisse is only good because cooked by the French, who, if they cared to try, could produce an excellent and nutritious substitute out of cigar stumps and empty matchboxes. Norman Douglas 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 The French are the wittiest, the most charming, and up to the present, at all events, the least musical race on Earth. Stendhal (Henri Beyle) The French are a logical people, which is one reason the English dislike them so intensely. The other is that they won France, a country which we have always judged to be much too good for them. Robert Morley | |
