"To immerse in the study of French culture and language is to bask in the aesthetic pinnacle of the traditional garden of earthly delights. For what could be said about a society, a trailblazer, a supplicant to the everlasting pleasures of art, literature, and philosophy except that a deeply gratifying personal communion with such an enduring story is the only recourse for a mind craving transcendent joy." - Alexander Lux |
