Countries Study

Famous quotes containing the words countries and/or study:

    Other countries drink to get drunk, and this is accepted by everyone; in France, drunkenness is a consequence, never an intention. A drink is felt as the spinning out of a pleasure, not as the necessary cause of an effect which is sought: wine is not only a philtre, it is also the leisurely act of drinking.
    Roland Barthes (1915–1980)

    I have not made a study of it, but believe that it is a minor point in the history of the war.
    Jean-Marie Le Pen (b. 1928)
