French Section

Famous quotes containing the words french and/or section:

“In comparison to the French Revolution, the American Revolution has come to seem a parochial and rather dull event. This, despite the fact that the American Revolution was successful—realizing the purposes of the revolutionaries and establishing a durable political regime—while the French Revolution was a resounding failure, devouring its own children and leading to an imperial despotism, followed by an eventual restoration of the monarchy.”
—Irving Kristol (b. 1920)

“To look at the cross-section of any plan of a big city is to look at something like the section of a fibrous tumor.”
—Frank Lloyd Wright (1869–1959)
