Quotes
Had all of us in France meekly, lawfully carried out the orders of the German master, no Frenchman could have ever looked another man in the face. Such submission would have saved the lives of many – some very dear to me – but France would have lost its soul.
Quoted in Charles Kaiser, "What Americans forget about French resistance", CNN (May 8, 2015)
