Every day Quote by Chambers Mars
““At one point in the journey, we’re approaching the Arc de Triomphe. “That’s awesome,” states Paul. “My guidebook says that it’s the resting place of the ‘unknown soldier’ and the flame never goes out,” I announce proudly. The taxi driver says something to Elizabeth, who is sitting in the front. “Franz here, suggests that if the budget deficit gets any worse, they intend to turn the gas off except on Public Holidays.” “Still practically every day then!””
