Famous quotes containing the words line and/or french:

    The line it is drawn
    The curse it is cast
    The slow one now
    Will later be fast
    As the present now
    Will later be past
    The order is
    Rapidly fadin’.
    And the first one now
    Will later be last
    For the times they are a-changin’.

    not-too-French French bean!
    Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
