Postcards From Paris

 “I like The Eiffel Tower because it looks like steel and lace.”  Natalie Lloyd

 “He who contemplates the depths of Paris is seized with vertigo.  Nothing is more fantastic. Nothing is more tragic.  Nothing is more sublime.”     Victor Hugo

 “Paris is a place in which we can forget ourselves, reinvent, expunge the dead weight of our past.”    Michael Simkins, An Englishman in Seach of Comitinental Education

“Paris was a universe whole and entire unto herself, hollowed and  fashioned by history; so she seemed in this age of Napoleon III with her  towering buildings, her massive cathedrals, her grand boulevards and  ancient winding medieval streets--as vast and indestructible as nature  itself."   Anne Rice, Interview With  a Vampire
