Цитаты Франсуа Вийон
„Prince, I know all, in short,
I know pink cheeks from wan,
I know Death all-devouring,
I know all, save myself.“
— Francois Villon

To Parisian women; whatever
May be said about Italians,
There is no tongue like one from Paris.“
— Francois Villon
Line 1539; "Ballade des Femmes de Paris (Ballade of the Women of Paris)".
„Villon, our sad bad glad mad brother's name.“

„My days are quickly spent.“

„Through wind, hail or frost my living's made.
I am a lecher, and she's a lecher with me.
Which one of us is better? We're both alike:
The one as worthy as the other. Bad rat, bad cat.
We both love filth, and filth pursues us;
We flee from honor, honor flees from us,
In this brothel where we ply our trade.“
— Francois Villon
Line 1621; "Ballade de la Grosse Margot (Ballade for Fat Margot)".
„The Large Testament is a hurly-burly of cynical and sentimental reflections about life, jesting legacies to friends and enemies, and, interspersed among these many admirable ballades, both serious and absurd. With so free a design, no thought that occurred to him would need to be dismissed without expression; and he could draw at full length the portrait of his own bedevilled soul, and of the bleak and blackguardly world which was the theatre of his exploits and sufferings. If the reader can conceive something between the slap-dash inconsequence of Byron's Don Juan and the racy humorous gravity and brief noble touches that distinguish the vernacular poems of Burns, he will have formed some idea of Villon's style. To the latter writer – except in the ballades, which are quite his own, and can be paralleled from no other language known to me – he bears a particular resemblance.“
— Francois Villon

„But where is last year's snow? This was the greatest care that Villon, the Parisian poet, took.“
