Famous quotes containing the words french and/or territories:

    “The French are certainly misunderstood:Mbut whether the fault is theirs, in not sufficiently explaining themselves; or speaking with that exact limitation and precision which one would expect ... or whether the fault may not be altogether on our side ... I shall not decide.”
    —Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    “Curiosity doesn’t matter any more. These days people don’t want to be transported to emotional territories where they don’t know how to react.”
    —Hector Babenko (b. 1946)
