There is a certain dignity to being French.
The French aren't known for being hilarious. When I told Parisians I was interested in French humor, they'd say 'French what?'
There is a certain kind of sobering, civilizing effect that being president imposes on people. There is a certain kind of dignity with which you comport yourself. As an observer of the presidency, I have to wonder if Trump would follow that pattern.
Staring prejudice in the face imposes a cruel discipline: to structure your anger, to achieve a certain dignity, an angry dignity.
The French have the reputation of being arrogant. I don't think it's arrogance but a certain authenticity.
It is terrifying to see how easily, in certain people, all dignity collapses. Yet when you think about it, this is quite normal since they only maintain this dignity by constantly striving against their own nature.

That's all that counts. People being sorry. Makes you feel better; gives you a sense of dignity, and that's all that's important; a sense of dignity. And it doesn't matter if you don't care or not, either. You got to have a sense of dignity, even if you don't care, 'cause, if you don't have that, civilization's doomed.

When I arrived at Columbia, I gave up acting and became interested in all things French. French poetry, French history, French literature.
If you look into the religions, they have this deep idea of human dignity and the source of dignity being conscience.
I never dream in French, but certain French words seem better or more fun than English words - like 'pois chiches' for chick peas!
When I was a child, I grew up speaking French, I mean, in a French public school. So my first contact with literature was in French, and that's the reason why I write in French.
There is dignity in being a celebrity. Let us not lose that dignity.
What should move us to action is human dignity: the inalienable dignity of the oppressed, but also the dignity of each of us. We lose dignity if we tolerate the intolerable.
Dignity is an affectation, cute but eccentric, like learning French or collecting scarves.
