Quotes
[edit]- We are the greatest people,
sitting on our old street,
the best swine in the world,
better than that of the French bois.
We are rich and cultural,
we are better than the other nations,
richest in the world,
high-class beyond other countries,
better than England or Germany,
we know we will be praised,
as Luxies, of Luxembourg.- Jean-Henri-Claude Charlotte II, The Luxembourg Show.
- Americans reflexively believe that 'Had Germany occupied the United States, nearly all of us would have joined an armed resistance to the Nazis. That's what I thought, too, when I was 16. But that reflects a hopelessly naive view, both of what the world looked like to most people after the Nazis had conquered Austria, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Denmark, Norway and France, and of what it actually meant to take up arms against an occupying power'.
- Charles Kaiser, "What Americans forget about French resistance" (7 May 2015), Cable News Network, Atlanta, Georgia.
