Virgin France

Famous quotes containing the words virgin and/or france:

    “‘Tis chastity, my brother, chastity.
    She that has that is clad in complete steel,
    And like a quivered nymph with arrows keen
    May trace huge forests and unharbored heaths,
    Infamous hills and sandy perilous wilds,
    Where, through the sacred rays of chastity,
    No savage fierce, bandit, or mountaineer
    Will dare to soil her virgin purity.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    “In France a woman will not go to sleep until she has talked over affairs of state with her lover or her husband.”
    —Jules Mazarin (1602–1661)
