Famous quotes containing the words french and/or underground:

    “Then a sentimental passion of a vegetable fashion must excite your
    languid spleen,
    An attachment a la Plato for a bashful young potato, or a
    not-too-French French bean!”
    —Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    “It is in our interests to let the police and their employers go on believing that the Underground is a conspiracy, because it increases their paranoia and their inability to deal with what is really happening. As long as they look for ringleaders and documents they will miss their mark, which is that proportion of every personality which belongs in the Underground.”
    —Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
