“One is too taken up with all that one sees and hears in Paris, however strong one is, and what I do here [in Etretat] will at least have the merit of being unlike anyone else, at least I believe so, because it will simply be the expression of what I, and only I, have felt.” BelieveStrongI BelieveFeltTakenExpressionParisMeritUniqueness Book:Monet by Himself: Paintings, Drawings, Pastels, Letters Source: Monet by Himself: Paintings, Drawings, Pastels, Letters
“For each glass, liberally large, the basic ingredients begin with ice cubes in a shaker and three or four drops of Angostura bitters on the ice cubes. Add several twisted lemon peels to the shaker, then a bottle-top of dry vermouth, a bottle-top of Scotch, and multiply the resultant liquid content by five with gin, preferably Bombay Sapphire. Add more gin if you think it is too bland...

“In Paris, when the picture came out [Casablanca] they weren't too pleased with it. They didn't like the political point of view.

They had a big gala opening where I appeared and people were absolutely crazy about it.” PeopleBigsPoliticalActorsViewsTakenFiveCrazyTelevisionPoint Of ViewTheatreOpeningParisMovie Author:Ingrid Bergman
