Quotes by Jennifer Coburn  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“A trip to Paris had sounded so adventurous when I was first talking about it a year earlier. People spoke about the city with dreamy longing, as though Paris possessed a magic that could not be found elsewhere. I'd never heard anyone talk about Paris without sighing. The city was a Promised Land that held appeal for most everyone: artists, lovers, even people who just liked cheese.”
Jennifer Coburn, We'll Always Have Paris: A Mother/Daughter Memoir
tags: paris

“To know Paris, Bruno began, pulling on his cigarette, you need to relax, have a glass of wine, and enjoy life.”
Jennifer Coburn, We'll Always Have Paris: A Mother/Daughter Memoir

“Visiting Florence was like attending a surprise party every day.”
Jennifer Coburn, We'll Always Have Paris: A Mother/Daughter Memoir
