- Willa Cather98◆ I wish I could go to Paris right now.
- Emily J. Proctor98◆ Paris is a woman but London is an independent man puffing his pipe in a pub.
- Jack Kerouac98◆ Study is the child of silence and mystery.
- Henri Murger98◆ Paris is the city in which one loves to live. Sometimes I think this is because it is the only city in the world where you can step out of a railway station—the Gare D'Orsay—and see, simultaneously, the chief enchantments: the Seine with its bridges and bookstalls, the Louvre, Notre Dame, the Tuileries Gardens, the Place de la Concorde, the beginning of the Champs Elysees—nearly everything except the Luxembourg Gardens and the Palais Royal. But what other city offers as much as you leave a train?
- Margaret Anderson98◆ The people that I liked and had not met went to the big cafes because they were lost in them and no one noticed them and they could be alone in them and be together.
- Ernest Hemingway98◆ After joyfully working each morning, I would leave off around midday to challenge myself to a footrace. Speeding along the sunny paths of the Jardin du Luxembourg, ideas would breed like aphids in my head—for creative invention is easy and sublime when air cycles quickly through the lungs and the body is busy at noble tasks.
- Roman Payne98◆ Mais Paris est un véritable océan. Jetez-y la sonde, vous n'en conna?trez jamais la profondeur. Parcourez-le, décrivez-le : quelque soin que vous mettiez à le parcourir, à le décrire ; quelques nombreux et intéressés que soient les explorateurs de cette mer, il s'y rencontrera toujours un lieu vierge, un antre inconnu, des fleurs, des perles, des monstres, quelque chose d'inou?, oublié par les plongeurs littéraires.
- Honoré de Balzac98◆ In Paris, where raillery is so quick to throw emotion out the window, silence, in a roomful of clever people after a story, is the most flattering of all marks of success
- Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly98◆ The old Paris is no more (the form of a city changes faster, alas! than a mortal's heart).
- Charles Baudelaire98◆ If you ask the great city, ‘Who is this person?,' she will answer, ‘He is my child.
- Victor Hugo98◆ I knew how severe I had been and how bad things had been. The one who is doing his work and getting satisfaction from it is not the one who poverty bothers.
- Ernest Hemingway98◆ Kilmartin wrote a highly amusing and illuminating account of his experience as a Proust revisionist, which appeared in the first issue of Ben Sonnenberg's quarterly Grand Street in the autumn of 1981. The essay opened with a kind of encouragement: 'There used to be a story that discerning Frenchmen preferred to read Marcel Proust in English on the grounds that the prose of A la recherche du temps perdu was deeply un-French and heavily influenced by English writers such as Ruskin.' I cling to this even though Kilmartin thought it to be ridiculous Parisian snobbery; I shall never be able to read Proust in French, and one's opportunities for outfacing Gallic self-regard are relatively scarce.
- Christopher Hitchens98◆ Just imagine! In the early nineteenth century, this cathedral was in such a state of disrepair that the city considered tearing it down. Luckily for us, Victor Hugo heard about the plans to destroy it and wrote The Hunchback of Notre-Dame to raise awareness of its glorious history. And, by golly, did it work! Parisians campaigned to save it, and the building was repaired and polished to the pristine state you find today.
- Stephanie Perkins98◆ I love Paris in the summer, when it sizzles.
- Cole Porter98
