— November 2015 Paris attacks
The cities of the whole world continue to express their support to the people of Paris. … Once again, a big thank you from the bottom of my heart. We are united.
My dear compatriots, We have, on my decision, mobilized all forces possible to neutralize the terrorists and make all concerned areas safe. I have also asked for military reinforcements. They are currently in the Paris area, to ensure that no new attack can take place.
You get used to terrorist attacks. France will hold on. The French will hold on, without even needing a “sursaut national,” a national pushback reflex. They’ll hold on because there’s no other way, and because you get used to everything. No human force, not even fear, is stronger than habit.
Peace for Paris
This attack will harden the resolve of the French against the savagery of the Islamic State, as it must the world’s.
