“我后来遇见的一些美国人总是伤感地摇摇头，感叹法国已不复往日。我指出，在过去的二十年里改变的其实是我们自己……对我来说，这个国家还和以前一样，它的众多花园和外在完好无损；而内在则连法国人的心态都一如往昔。他们仍然将一切生活中的必需品视为奢侈，而将奢侈的事物视为生活中不可或缺的存在。”——曼·雷
"Some Americans I met later shook their heads sadly, saying France was no longer the same. I pointed out that it was we who had changed during the past twenty years... I found the country just the same, with its gardens and outward aspects intact; inwardly, even, the French mentality was the same as always. It still regarded all necessities of life as luxuries, and luxuries as indispensable necessities." - Man Ray
