• Armado. Sirrah Costard, I will enfranchise thee.
• Costard. O! marry me to one Frances: I smell some l'envoy, some goose, in this.
• "My name is Frances. Don't call me Fanny!" "Why not?" "Because it's too absurd to be endured! What does the mere sound of Fanny suggest? A flirting dancing creature - plump and fair, and playful and pretty! - - - Call me Frances - a man's name, with only the difference between an i and an e. No sentiment in it, hard, like me."
• My other sisters had interesting names. There was Francie, that was Frances, and though she wore slacks and my father seemed angry with her, I thought she was some relation to Saint Francis, who, I believed, kept animals in his pocket and took them out and licked them, the way Francie licked a blackball or acid drop, for pure love.
• The malaise of French politics has commonly been interpreted as a product of a deep-seated conflict between the ‘two Frances’.
• Although scholars have offered different chronologies and causalities for the move toward modernity, most have resolved the paradox of the two Frances by placing them in sequence: "diverse France gave way over time as modern centralized France gathered force."
• Was it the end of the long conflict between the two Frances? Yes and no.
