Charles de Gaulle

France has lost the battle but she has not lost the war.

When I want to know what France thinks, I ask myself.

I respect only those who resist me, but I cannot tolerate them.

Good breeding differs, if at all, from high breeding only as it gracefully remembers the rights of others, rather than gracefully insists on its own rights.

My upbringing has given me sympathy for the idea of isolation and what it is to be a new person in the room, where everyone else has some amount of familiarity and comfort.

To me, it was shocking that a government of men could look with such extreme contempt on a movement that was asking nothing except such a simple little thing as the right to vote.
