Quotes about Paris
An artist has no home in Europe except in Paris. -Friedrich Nietzsche
You know, I sometimes think, how is anyone ever gonna come up with a book, or a painting, or a symphony, or a sculpture that can compete with a great city. You can’t. Because you look around and every street, every boulevard, is its own special art form and when you think that in the cold, violent, meaningless universe that Paris exists, these lights. I mean come on, there’s nothing happening on Jupiter or Neptune, but from way out in space you can see these lights, the cafés, people drinking and singing. For all we know, Paris is the hottest spot in the universe. -Owen Wilson as Gil in Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris
In Paris, everybody wants to be an actor; nobody is content to be a spectator. -Jean Cocteau
A walk about Paris will provide lessons in history, beauty, and in the point of Life. -Thomas Jefferson
To know Paris is to know a great deal. -Henry Miller
What an immense impression Paris made upon me. It is the most extraordinary place in the world! -Charles Dickens
Paris is a place in which we can forget ourselves, reinvent, expunge the dead weight of our past. -Michael Simkins
It is perfectly possible to be enamoured of Paris while remaining totally indifferent or even hostile to the French. -James Baldwin
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 Anderson
When spring comes to Paris the humblest mortal alive must feel that he dwells in paradise. -Henry Miller
A final reminder. Whenever you are in Paris at twilight in the early summer, return to the Seine and watch the evening sky close slowly on a last strand of daylight fading quietly, like a sigh. -Kate Simon
That Paris exists and anyone could choose to live anywhere else in the world will always be a mystery to me. -Marion Cotillard as Adriana in Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris
To err is human. To loaf is Parisian. -Victor Hugo
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. -Ernest Hemingway
The art galleries of Paris contain the finest collection of frames I ever saw.-Humphry Davy
Lise: Paris has ways of making people forget. Jerry: Paris? No, not this city. It’s too real and too beautiful. It never lets you forget anything. It reaches in and opens you wide, and you stay that way. -Leslie Caron as Lise and Gene Kelly as Jerry Mulligan in An American In Paris
Paris is always a good idea. -Audrey Hepburn as Sabrina Fairchild in Sabrina
Paris
Paris n’a de beauté qu’en son histoire,
Mais cette histoire est belle tellement !
La Seine est encaissée absurdement,
Mais son vert clair à lui seul vaut la gloire.
Paris n’a de gaîté que son bagout,
Mais ce bagout, encor qu’assez immonde,
Il fait le tour des langages du monde,
Salant un peu ce trop fade ragoût.
Paris n’a de sagesse que le sombre
Flux de son peuple et de ses factions,
Alors qu’il fait des révolutions
Avec l’Ordre embusqué dans la pénombre.
Paris n’a que sa Fille de charmant
Laquelle n’est au prix de l’Exotique
Que torts gentils et vice peu pratique
Et ce quasi désintéressement.
Paris n’a de bonté que sa légère
Ivresse de désir et de plaisir,
Sans rien de trop que le vague désir
De voir son plaisir égayer son frère.
Paris n’a rien de triste et de cruel
Que le poëte annuel ou chronique,
Crevant d’ennui sous l’oeil d’une clinique
Non loin du vieil ouvrier fraternel.
Vive Paris quand même et son histoire
Et son bagout et sa Fille, naïf
Produit d’un art pervers et primitif,
Et meure son poëte expiatoire !
Paul Verlaine
