I don't get many good offers. I like to follow the same kind of path I follow in France. If I don't feel the movie is very original or has a good amount of potential, I don't do it. In the films I've done I can feel I'm part of a specific universe, but those sorts of opportunities are quite rare. View quote
Isabelle Huppert
I don't really consider myself an immigrant, because I was born French; I have always spoken the language. I never had the feeling of being a foreigner. I was very lucky: I came to France, and I had enough money to study and to rent a studio. So, for me, it was not difficult. (Leila Slimani)
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. View quote

France can never accept that it is no longer a dominating power in the world of culture. This is true both of the French right and the French left. They keep thinking that Americans are primitive cowboys or farmers who do not understand anything. View quote
Adam Michnik
In France, the image I had was of a shy girl - a poor lonely girl and not too good-looking. When I went to England, I had another image. I felt the journalists were much more interested in my looks than in my songs. View quote

Golovinski: Mr. Rachkovsky, a Zionist congress met last year. I can simply fabricate a manifesto! Rachkovsky: Not good enough...and that will take too much time! I have a solution! Here is an old book by someone named Maurice Joly. It appeared here in France in 1864... and four years ago our journalist Decyon tried to use it to attack Russia's financial system. Golovinski: The "Dialogue in hell between Machiavelli and Montesquie”! Jolly's book attacks Napoleon III's government! It can be read as a plan for tyranny! Rachkovsky: Exactly. All you have to do is 'change this into a testament that emanates from the Jewish leaders...eh, Golovinski? Golovinski: Ah, yes. A Jewish conspiracy! Yes, yes. View quote

Rachikovsky: What if there appeared a document proving that modernization was a part of a Jewish plot? Gorymikine: It would be absolute evidence of a threat the tsar could not ignore. Rachikovsky: Exactly! Gorymikine: Exactly Rachikovsky! It will make Witte's advice suspect! Rachikovsky: Yes, it will damage Witte's influence and it will answer his majesty's worry about who is behind the unrest! He distrusts''' Jews...it'll be easy... Gorymikine: But where is there such a document? I know of none! Rachikovsky: No problem! We will make one in our secret service, the Okhrana back in France. We have been planting our own propaganda in The French press for years. Gorymikine: It will take a very cunning forger to write it convincingly! Rachikovsky: We will have no problem! Don't worry Gorymikine...I'll be back in Moscow very soon with the ”weapon. (Will Eisner)
History will remember me as the most powerful puncher that rambled through divisions like the Nazi divisions did France, Belgium & the lowlanders. Ducking me and running away to Dunkirk makes you a coward. Until someone stands up to my fistic tyranny I am the one and only dictator. View quote

I was lying in an easy-chair, in front of a garden. I saw that the spiritual power was still active in me: I could go on with occult experiments in spite of the illness. I used to concentrate on things and persons and circumstances and wanted to see if the power worked. It worked very well on the mental and vital planes. Then I broadened the field of activity. I could go on doing my work in various parts of France and America and other places. I could clearly see the faces of the persons worked upon. They could be made to do what they by themselves could not. These were controlled experiments ... I could see that nothing could stop the work: even without my body the work could go on ... Wherever the call was, I could attend. View quote
