Paris Quotes

“The Parisian is of all men the most sophisticated. Paris is a city of realists, unaffected by sentimentality; a city of industry and thrift; a city of irony, but rarely of laughter, of wit but never or humour, of superficial intolerance and yet of people who regard the rest of the world with more or less amiable contempt.”
― Sidney Dark, Paris

“All cities have a certain fascination that is lost with too intimate a knowledge.”

“I have met ghosts who attract me, and, following my habit in the material world, I have avoided the ghosts that bore me.”

“Every man's Paris is his own, with its own characteristics, and is in some respects at least unlike the Paris of any one else.”
― Sidney Dark, Paris
