Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord Quote

Of Napoleon's death:

It is not an event, it is an item of news.


Notes of Conversations with the Duke of Wellington (1888), Philip Henry Stanhope


It is not an event, it is an item of news.

It is not an event, it is an item of news.

It is not an event, it is an item of news.

It is not an event, it is an item of news.
