“I have a picture of the Pont Neuf on a wall in my apartment, but I know that Paris is really on the closet shelf, in the box next to the sleeping bag, with the rest of [my] diaries.”
Thomas Mallon
“In Paris, when the picture came out [Casablanca] they weren't too pleased with it. They didn't like the political point of view. The picture was taken off immediately and was never sold to television. A while ago it was brought in and opened in five theatres in Paris, as a new movie. They had a big gala opening where I appeared and people were absolutely crazy about it.”
Ingrid Bergman
“The art galleries of Paris contain the finest collection of frames I ever saw.”
Humphrey Davy
“In Paris, one is always reminded of being a foreigner. If you park your car wrong, it is not the fact that it's on the sidewalk that matters, but the fact that you speak with an accent.”
Roman Polanski
“Lunch kills half of Paris, supper the other half.”
Charles de Montesquieu
“The first thing that strikes a visitor to Paris is a taxi.”
Fred Allen
“I love Paris in the summer, when it sizzles.”
Cole Porter
