“Depuis les siècles des siècles, les rillettes sont du Mans, le piment d’Espelette, le cassoulet de Castelnaudary, la poularde de Bresse, les escargots de Bourgogne, l’andouille de Vire, la saucisse de Strasbourg, la potée est limousine, l’aligot auvergnat, le poussin au riesling alsacien, la bouillabaisse de Marseille, le coq au vin du Berry, la quiche lorraine, la tête de veau sous la mère de Corrèze, l’huître de Marennes, la sole est dieppoise, la mouclade est de La Rochelle, le saucisson chaud de Lyon, les tripes de Caen, le morteau de Morteau et le camembert de Camembert. Chaque petit Français apprend cela plus sûrement que l’orthographe.”
François Hauter, Le bonheur d'être français (Documents)

Matthew Amster-Burton
“The train gives off an earsplitting insect hum. It seems like you’re watching something physically impossible, like a person lifting a house, or hearing a joke so funny the laughter threatens to rip you apart, and then, with a puff of air, it’s over. When”
Matthew Amster-Burton, Pretty Good Number One: An American Family Eats Tokyo

“que d’autres enfants que les nôtres puissent s’enchanter de réciter : « Tâche que les tasses de thé tachetées que tu as achetées soient attachées et tassées » !”
François Hauter, Le bonheur d'être français (Documents)

George Bailey Sansom
“The sovereign being equipped with virtue, and his counsellors with wisdom, it remains only for the common people to learn their duties and fulfil them. Since they are not capable of understanding the abstract morality of the sages, of determining for themselves what is correct conduct, they must be instructed by means of concrete and positive precepts. It is these precepts which are embodied in the Rites. The good citizen is one who fulfils regularly and completely his ritual obligations. Instead of a code of morals he has a code of manners.”
George Bailey Sansom, Japan: A Short Cultural History

John Pomfret
“I liked the way it felt to speak Chinese—the elegant rise and fall of the tones, the sensuous way my tongue flitted about my mouth and the economy of a language that needed very few words to say a lot. Speaking good French demands control of one’s lips; American English relies on an open mouth; but Chinese can be spoken perfectly even through clenched teeth. “Picture your tongue as a butterfly,” one of my instructors would say, and there it would be, flapping against my mouth and banging against my teeth as I sought to harness it and speak Chinese.”
John Pomfret, Chinese Lessons: Five Classmates and the Story of the New China
