Quotes by Jean-Benoît Nadeau  (?)
Quotes are added by the Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ community and are not verified by Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ.

“But the past was never erased, probably because there’s just too much of it. Everything in France is built on layers of other things that existed before. The present in France is only a compromise between the past and the present.”
Jean-Benoît Nadeau, Sixty Million Frenchmen Can't be Wrong: What Makes the French So French

“France actually had the first ever pension schemes: the Invalides, a hostel built by Louis XIV and his prime minister, Jean-Baptiste Colbert (1619â€�83), for disabled soldiers.”
Jean-Benoît Nadeau, Sixty Million Frenchmen Can't Be Wrong

“Americans have no past, while Europeans are loaded down by ancient customs, habits, and prejudices that shape their behaviour.”
Jean-Benoît Nadeau, Sixty Million Frenchmen Can't be Wrong: What Makes the French So French
