Hey there, honey. You wanna talk about Paris? That big fancy city? Well, I hear folks say a lot of things about it. Fancy words, you know. Today, I gonna tell you some famous quotes about Paris, make you know what is that like.
Paris, oh, Paris. I ain’t never been, but I hear it’s somethin’ else. Lots of them big shots, they talk about Paris like it’s heaven on earth. They use all them fancy words, but I’ll try to make it simple for ya.
First off, some fella named Victor Hugo, I reckon he was a big deal, he said, “Breathe Paris in. It nourishes the soul.” Now, what’s that mean? I guess he’s sayin’ just bein’ there, breathin’ the air, it does somethin’ good for ya. Makes ya feel good inside, like a good home-cooked meal. It is one of the most famous quotes.
Another thing I heard is, “A walk about Paris will provide lessons in history, beauty.” Sounds like you can just walk around, lookin’ at things, and you learn somethin’. Learn about the old days, about pretty things. Like lookin’ at an old quilt, each patch tells a story. Paris is probably full of them stories, just waitin’ for folks to see ’em.
- Paris is a big city, lots of people.
- Heard they got them big buildings, all fancy-like.
- They say it’s a city of love, whatever that means.
Then there’s this one, “Though you may leave Paris, Paris never really leaves you.” That’s a thinker, ain’t it? I suppose it means even if you go away from Paris, you’ll always remember it. Like that one time I went to the county fair, saw the biggest pumpkin ever. Never forgot that pumpkin. Paris must be like that, but bigger and fancier, you will always remember it.
They say Paris has a motto, “Fluctuat nec mergitur.” Now that’s a mouthful. They told me it means, “[She] is tossed [by the waves], but does not sink.” I guess Paris has had its troubles, like a boat in a storm, but it always comes through. Tough city, I reckon. Just like old Bessie, our cow, she got through that hard winter, tough as nails. And it is one of the famous quotes about Paris.
Folks call Paris the “City of Light.” I guess it’s all lit up at night, pretty as a Christmas tree. They also call it the “City of Love.” Now, I don’t know much about that, but I reckon folks fall in love there. Maybe it’s the lights, maybe it’s the air. Who knows? This is one of the famous quotes, too.
And they say it’s a city of “beauty, of romance, and of hope over fear, gratitude over cynicism, and light over darkness.” Well, that’s a lot to take in. Sounds like a good place to be. A place where you can be happy, where you can dream. A place where the good outweighs the bad. That’s the kind of place I’d like to be. Every people want to be there, cause it’s beautiful.
I remember one time, little Timmy, he got lost in the woods. We were all scared, lookin’ for him everywhere. But then, we found him, safe and sound. That’s what I think of when I hear about “hope over fear.” Paris must be like that, a place where you find your way, even when you’re lost. And that is one of the famous quotes people always talk about.
And “gratitude over cynicism,” that’s like bein’ thankful for what you got, instead of grumblin’ about what you don’t. Like when the crops are good, you thank the good Lord, instead of complainin’ about the weeds. Paris must be a place where folks are thankful. They must be, with all that beauty around ’em.
This “light over darkness,” that’s like sunshine after a storm. Like when the clouds part and you see that blue sky. It makes you feel good, makes you feel hopeful. Paris must be a place full of sunshine, even when it’s rainin’. It is the most famous quotes I’ve ever heard.
- They say the food in Paris is somethin’ special.
- Maybe they got them fancy pastries and such.
- I bet they don’t have biscuits and gravy like mine, though.
So, there you have it. A few things I heard about Paris. Sounds like a magical place, don’t it? Maybe one day I’ll get to see it for myself. But even if I don’t, I can still dream about it. And that’s somethin’, ain’t it? To have a dream, a little piece of Paris in your heart. That’s what them famous quotes are all about, I reckon. They’re about dreamin’, about hopin’, about findin’ the beauty in the world, no matter where you are. And I hope one day, I can go to Paris, too.
