“Все французы-мужчины знают что нужно стать цивилизованным между восемнадцатью и двадцатью тремя и что цивилизация приходит к вам через отношения с женщинами постарше, через революцию, через военную дисциплину, через побег откуда-нибудь или через подчинение кому-нибудь, после чего вы стали цивилизованным и жизнь идет как надо на латинский лад, жизнь умиротворяющая и интригующая, вот теперь жизнь цивилизованна, логична и модна короче говоря жизнь как жизнь.”
― Gertrude Stein, Paris France
