Was the Soviet Union reformable? I would say no. They said, 'Okay, the Soviet Union isn't working.' They would say, 'No, it's great. We just need democracy, political pluralism, private property.' And then there was no Soviet Union. The European Union is the same.

There is, toward the Front, a suspicion of anti-Semitism, and it is totally at odds with the real danger due to mass immigration and the rise of Islamism.

Jeanne d'Arc was frowned upon for her masculine attire.

We're going to reserve our efforts and our national solidarity for the most humble, the most modest, and the most poor among us.

It is as a free French woman who has been able to enjoy, her whole life, the very precious freedoms fought for long and hard by our mothers and grandmothers, that I want to warn about a new form of social, human, and moral regression imposed on us by the migrant crisis.

My father was kicked out of the National Front. He does whatever he wants. It doesn't concern me anymore... I don't talk to him, and I'm not responsible for him or his inadmissible remarks.

There are some who believe that secularism and Islam are not compatible. But Muslims should show everyone that this is not the case. It's up to them to show that you can be French and Muslim and still respect secular rules.

If I were American, I'd vote everything but Hillary Clinton.

Rejoice in the great, free emancipation of peoples.

The people must have the opportunity to vote for the liberation from slavery and blackmail imposed by technocrats in Brussels to return sovereignty to the country.

We need a presidency which acts and protects us.

You cannot force a country to do something that is against its own interests or against the democratic process.

What we're concerned about is massive immigration of unskilled workers, mostly from the Maghreb and Africa, which pulls down salaries in France.

I think that the elites have lived too long among themselves.

If anything, I'm to the left of Obama.

Politics for me started in violence.

French citizenship should be either inherited or merited.

I have nothing to hide, and I call upon those who are scared by the National Front to look up the National Front's manifesto. It's quite easy on the Internet.

I keep wondering who defends Quebec identity: who defends sovereignty, the right of the people to express themselves freely.

There's something I will say: In the U.S., people are very patriotic. Their patriotism is obvious. In France, for many years, you had to fight to be patriotic. People are pushing us from loving our own country.

France is different from the U.S.A.'s El Dorado, American Dream image.

I think France should be free, independent, and be the cultural heart of the world because those play a balance in the world.

We, the French, are viscerally attached to our laicite, our sovereignty, our independence, our values. The world knows that when France is attacked, it is liberty that is dealt a blow.

The question of changing the name must not be taboo. The Front National is a name that has a strong history. It represents a limit in the heads of some voters because it is still demonised.

Voila, we're all molded by our personal paths, which forge our sensibilities.

I think that in France, we should do like the French people.

A people decides its own destiny.

What is the point in punishing a country?

I think that each country must protect its own borders, and that is why I'm simply asking for the abolition of Schengen.

It's unbearable to see the people betrayed time and again by politicians who don't keep their promises and by the technocrats at the European Union.

The people are rejecting so-called free trade and globalization that the elites presented as a positive thing.

2016 was the year the Anglo-Saxon world woke up.

I am sure 2017 will be the year the people of continental Europe wake up.

I would go to the European institutions, I would demand for the French people four sovereignties: territorial - our borders; monetary and budgetary; economic; and legislative. Either the European Union says yes to me, or they would say no, and I would say to the French, there is no only other solution but to leave the E.U.

Islamic fundamentalism is attacking us at home.

Brexit has really broken a taboo. The Brits have shown us that you can leave the European Union, and you can come out better.

Frexit will be a part of my policy.

I am against the policy which would promote the entry of immigrants into Europe, which cannot accept them.

Immigrants are illegal, since once they set foot on European soil, they have violated the law.

We will be all about the local, not the global.

I'm asking the Israelis to choose their nationality. It doesn't mean that if they don't choose French nationality, they have to leave.

A national currency, with the Euro as a common currency - that wouldn't bother me.

France has been mired in people's minds for years. In reality, our children are taught that they have every reason to criticize her, to see only the darkest historical aspects.

I think patriotism is never racism.

This is the first aspiration of countries: we are the landlords in our countries so that they remain free, and we can live in security.

I think 2017 is going to be the year of the grand return of the nation-state, the control of borders and currencies.

You can pass on my respects to the grand mufti, but I will not cover myself up.

France can certainly accommodate foreign people on its soil long-term, those with foreign citizenship... as long as they respect French laws and French values, which is often a problem on the immigration issue. It's not really a problem with Israel on this topic.

We had been told that it was not possible to leave the E.U., and the U.K. has just demonstrated that, when the people want it, we can set up the conditions to exit the E.U.

For France, anything is better than Hillary Clinton.
