Bicycles Quotes
We all saw the evacuation of Houston during the hurricane. In the exodus from Paris, five million people hit the road in fear of the impending battle. After the French surrendered without a defense of Paris, many moved back. For me, the drama was that evacuation. I could not get the image of two people on bicycles in that flood of refugees out of my head.

Action Quotes
Every extra delay reduces the chances of a deal being done that will lift people out of poverty. Promises have been made repeatedly by rich countries to remove barriers to farm trade. But this rearguard action by the French and other EU member states is undermining even the minimal progress made.
-
Aspects Quotes
European countries were colonial masters of several Muslim lands, and the psychological aspects of that relationship have lived on and on. It's difficult for the Belgians, the Danes, the French - it's difficult for them to believe that these former colonies have a religion that is of consequence. They get a kick out of insulting them.
-
Became Quotes
I've always thought - and I don't even know if I'd be right for the part - that Jean Seberg would make a great biopic. She was in Jean-Luc Godard's 'Breathless,' she played Joan of Arc. She had this eventful and traumatic adulthood, she thought the FBI was after her, and she became a darling of the French New Wave.
-
Course Quotes
Sometimes I'll be walking down the street and I'll hear some American and I'll just go, 'Of course they hate us, of course they can't stand us. We're the most annoying, boisterous creatures in the world.' I mean we come in and we eat mounds of food, and we're like, 'Where's the ketchup for our French fries.' I'm like, 'Shut up.''- explaining how she REALLY feels about her American fans when being treated poorly in France.

Benefit Quotes
Sometimes for the European players, they like to go home because they spend a long time here in the States. They feel like they want to go home. For me, that would be the main benefit of a European player to go back. The main benefit of being here is, you can still practice and set up your clay-court season under good conditions. There are lots of courts, there are good weather conditions, and you can build up for the French Open.
-
British Quotes
Pressure from the British because they are playing a similar role in neighboring Sierra Leone, pressure from the French because they are also heading a peacekeeping operation in the Ivory Coast -- and also they are involved in the Congo. So there is a sense that the United States should provide leadership and share some of the international peacekeeping burdens, and Liberia is most appropriately a case for U.S. leadership.
-
Bar Quotes
People forget that there are villages and communities that are still speaking French all over Canada. I went to a bar and spoke with some French people there, and they were saying: 'I went to English school, but at home it was always French, and that's going to be the way it is for my kids.' It's important for them to keep that language alive.
-
Ended Quotes
Originally, the Louisiana Purchase was much smaller, but it ended up this vast area. The Spanish didn't recognize the purchase. Louisiana had bounced back and forth between Spain and France. The French weren't supposed to transfer it to an English-speaking nation, and they weren't supposed to transfer it without notifying Spain.

Best Quotes
Nowadays everyone wants instant results ? even in careers. But things of quality often take time. I think that Amelie is like a French wine. Everyone develops differently. For Amelie, she needed more time than others: more maturity, more experience. I think the best tennis for her will be now. Also she has become matured in other ways.
-
Bottom Quotes
The bottom line is that France seems to have run through a metamorphosis from a euro-zone driver to a growth laggard. Those who revised up their euro zone GDP growth outlook for this year on the back of strong German survey data might now be forced to take the much less upbeat French growth picture also into account.
-
Angry Quotes
As long as these kids grow up not only in an economic underclass but excluded from being French or Dutch it's problematic. When people in my community get angry about American foreign policy they get angry as citizens and they fight back as citizens. The process is more open to including them.

Actual Quotes
This is a normal diesel engine in this Jetta. What we've done is in the rear of the vehicle we've put a separate fuel tank that holds the french fry oil. That is transported to the front through these heated lines that use the actual engine heat to heat it. It comes through the filter which is also heated into the valve.
-
Black Quotes
This is one of the few moments in time in which the entire population of a city can tell you what they miss about it. It's like when people sit around a room wearing black talking about the person who's gone. The French Quarter is probably one of the smallest elements of what people treasure.

Achieved Quotes
Although the French appellation system has its roots in the 1923 system created in Chateauneuf-du-Pape by Baron Le Roy, proprietor of the renowned Chateau Fortia, Chateauneuf-du-Pape never developed a reputation for quality or achieved the prestige enjoyed by such regions as Burgundy and Bordeaux.
