Accepted Quote by Philippe Falardeau

“Sometimes it's about the economic situation and sometimes it's about the fear of others. Sometimes it's about protecting the generally accepted values. If you look at history, history is just a succession of people meeting other people, either through commerce, voyages or wars.” quote by Philippe Falardeau
