Georges Clemenceau

Monet's garden must be included with his works, because he combined the magic of an adaptation of nature with the work of a painter of light. An extension of the studio into the openair, with color tones lavishly spread out on all sides to exercise the eye with seductive vibrations, from which a feverishly aroused retina expects unquenchable joy.

I don't know whether war is an interlude during peace, or peace is an interlude during war.

A man who waits to believe in action before acting is anything you like, but he's not a man of action. It is as if a tennis player before returning a ball stopped to think about his views of the physical and mental advantages of tennis. You must act as you breathe.

When a man asks himself what is meant by action he proves he isn't a man of action.

America is the only nation in history which miraculously has gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilization.

War is too serious a matter to entrust to military men.

A man who waits to believe in action before acting is anything you like, but he's not a man of action. You must act as you breathe.

War is a series of catastrophes that results in a victory.
