I love English, though I now call it ‘Anglo- American’ because we no longer speak British English due to globalization and America’s economic power. – Maurice Druon
Italian is the language of song. German is good for philosophy and English for poetry. French is best at precision; it has a rigour to it. – Maurice Druon
I lived the life of Londoners – and thence comes my immense gratitude and my deep attachment with the British people. I do not think there has ever been a people in the world who displayed a heroism as discreet, as mundane and as universal. – Maurice Druon
The French no longer respect their language, because they no longer love themselves, and, no longer loving themselves, they no longer love what was the instrument of their glory – their language. – Maurice Druon
