It's very important to say that French doesn't belong to France and to French people. Now you have very wonderful poets and writers in French who are not French or Algerian - who are from Senegal, from Haiti, from Canada, a lot of parts of the world.

Leila Slimani

French women have been made beautiful by the French people - they're very aware of their bodies, the way they move and speak, they're very confident of their sexuality. French society's made them like that

Charlotte Rampling

A romantic or classical view of the French approach would have been to say, 'It's a French company; let no one attack it. Let's block any merger. But the reality is Alcatel-Lucent is not a French company; it's a global company. Its main markets are China and the U.S. Its ownership is foreign; most of its managers aren't French.

Emmanuel Macron

I feel very close to French culture and to the French humanism, which occasionally one finds, even in the highest places. And therefore, all of my books have been written in French.

Elie Wiesel

Never say "Au revoir" unless you have been talking French, or are speaking to a French person.

Emily Post

Anybody can be very destructive in that position without at all meaning to be, and I know that I have been inadvertently destructive in the past for certain people on certain occasions.

Tobias Wolff

True to their history, the English are very domineering and have manipulated it in different ways. I wouldn't say that there was an original, but there is a lot of expurgation in some of the Victorian translations, and there's a lot of additional salacious nonsense in some of them, too. I also like the early French one, much-derided for being fanciful but which is actually very elegantly done. It's very big, very capacious.

Marina Warner

It is my duty to say: Something has to change. I say that very directly, in clear words so that nobody can misunderstand me. And I believe in our new initiative for continuing education and vocational training. For French people who are socially disadvantaged, this means real recognition and support.

Emmanuel Macron

There's this sort of male energy that we have that can seem very destructive. But it doesn't have to be. It actually can be a very positive force.

Nick Flynn

The French aren't known for being hilarious. When I told Parisians I was interested in French humor, they'd say 'French what?'

Pamela Druckerman

There are very few people in our society who are actually free to say what they believe. I am in an extremely fortunate position in having this enormous gift of freedom and believe I should try to use it to do something useful for society. As long as I feel as if I have something to say, I’ll continue to try to do that.

Lawrence Lessig

Stardom can be very destructive - particularly if you believe in it.

Shelley Winters

Fair play is an English word. It is not a French word, and it has been copied all over the world. Unfortunately, it does not function any more here.

Arsene Wenger

Actually, I am asking for this: for something to be done. I think that if it had been one of the 50 states, something would have already been done. Unfortunately, you know, Puerto Rico is a territory. Very often they forget about Puerto Rico.

Marco Rubio

Movies in this country, its very complicated, and we could bang on about it forever, but the French movie industry is very different because its very obviously French.

Mick Jagger
