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.

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?

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.

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.
