The best of America drifts to Paris. The American in Paris is the best American. It is more fun for an intelligent person to live in an intelligent country. France has the only two things toward which we drift as we grow older — intelligence and good manners.

I have lived half of my life in Paris, not the half the made me but the half in which I made what I made.

I never rebel so much against France as not to regard Paris with a friendly eye; she has had my heart since my childhood.... I love her tenderly, even to her warts and her spots. I am French only by this great city: the glory of France, and one of the noblest ornaments of the world.

Every time I look down on this timeless town
Whether blue or gray be her skies.
Whether loud be her cheers or soft be her tears,
More and more do I realize:

I love Paris in the springtime.
I love Paris in the fall.
I love Paris in the winter when it drizzles,
I love Paris in the summer when it sizzles.

I love Paris every moment,
Every moment of the year.
I love Paris, why, oh why do I love Paris?
Because my love is near.

America was the attic of French culture.

People are often frightened of Parisians, but an American in Paris will find no harsher critic than another American.

To study in Paris is to be born in Paris!

One's country is wherever one does well.

<i>Où l'on est bien, là est la patrie.</i>

You belong to me and all Paris belongs to me and I belong to this notebook and this pencil.

My country's where my comfort's best secured.

If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.

Paris is always a good idea.-Audrey Hepburn
