Famous quotes containing the word french:

“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)

“When they kept you out it was because you were black; when they let you in, it is because you are black. That’s progress?”
—Marilyn French (b. 1929)
