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.

For glory gives herself only to those who have always dreamed of her.

Most people have no imagination. If they could imagine the sufferings of others, they would not make them suffer so. What separated a German mother from a French mother?

I like villains because there's something so attractive about a committed person - they have a plan, an ideology, no matter how twisted. They're motivated.

Well, I actually wrote her a letter a couple of days ago congratulating her. The tone I tried to convey in the letter is, look, you are a part of a great American historical process.
