Quotes When I say that I am French, I give myself a label that each French person refuses me. I speak French, and I got my education in a French school. I have learned as much French as the average Frenchman. What am I then, dear God? Is it possible that as long as there are labels, there is not one for me? Which one is mine? Can somebody tell me what I am! The continuity of little duties, always well performed, requires no less strength than heroic actions. It is better to always have the esteem of men than sometimes their admiration. I know that we have shaken off a century of sleep into which we were plunged by a wrongful defeat. We are ready to go forward, to grasp in our turn the flame for which people struggle. External links Category:1913 births Category:1962 deaths Category:Authors from Algeria Category:Murdered people
