We have given most of Europe to Hitler. Let us try to hold on to what we have got left.

I am a peasant from the Auvergne. I want to keep my farm, and I want to keep France. Nothing else matters now.

I defy anyone - and I have said this to the Germans - to build a solid, articulated, and viable Europe without France's consent.

It is in order that France may find her place in the new Europe that you will respond to my appeal.

In the event of a victory over Germany by Soviet Russia and England, Bolshevism in Europe would inevitably follow. Under these circumstances I would prefer to see Germany win the war.

Workers of France, it is for the freedom of the prisoners that you will go to work in Germany! It is for our country that you will go in large numbers!

It is neither the statesman nor the friend who is asking your help and assistance, but simply the man.

But the same intelligence compels Germany to practise the same policy.

I want to tell you that I think this war is a great mistake.

I feel that an understanding could be reached with Germany which would result in a lasting peace with Europe and believe that a German victory is preferable to a British and Soviet victory.

Fear kills more dreams than failure ever will.

Stealthily the stars slid forward into nothingness.

Never underestimate the collective strength of your weakest connections.

How strange! A dog is more humane than a human is.

We can disagree with one another without being raging, judgmental, spiteful, self-righteous lunatics. Can’t we?

I'm just a notch on your bedpost but you're just a line in a song.

I love the life I live. The Lord blessed me to be independent. I am independent.

Oh, breathe not his name! let it sleep in the shade, Where cold and unhonour'd his relics are laid

Taking the way that opens, even if it seems hardly more than a footpath, not infrequently leads to the highways of heart's desire, if not to fame and fortune.

The future doesn't exist. It hasn't happened yet. The past doesn't exist. It has already happened.
