« "Writing is an attempt at extension, but soon men will stop reading to simply listen or watch. Or, at best, they'll read captions under the images! I believe that the soul is that of a community, a people, a future. I would rather connect with the soul of Europe, if it had one or if it had not lost it. On the other hand, I am sure that France will always have a soul, because there will always be a language, a history and a geography, rivers, mountains, a physical setting, monuments that will last."

« Hypocrisy often, hysteria at worst. And a lot of misunderstandings. Without mentioning the absurd confusion between atheism and secularism, let us say at the outset that secularism is not tolerance, this indulgence of the Old Regime, this royal condescension by which a superior, who might not do so, lifts a ban or grants this or that impunity to a subject. (...) `Secularism` is above all a legal construct based on a requirement of reason: equality in the right of all human beings. »

« When the question of means deviates that of the ends, and the management of the tool becomes its own end, things lose their meaning, the rule of law its raison d'être, and man his way. Three home examples of this managerial subversion: Defence, Culture, School. Three humiliated nobility. »
