Show me six lines written by the most honest man in the world, and I will find enough in them to hang him.
Qu'on me donne six lignes écrites de la main du plus honnête homme,
j'y trouverai de quoi le faire pendre.
Attributed to Cardinal Richelieu

About me
Name: Paul Frank
Location: Huémoz, Swiss Alps
I am an English translator from Chinese, German and French. Between getting a B.A. in Chinese studies from Leeds University in England and M.A.s in Chinese history from Michigan and Harvard universities, I spent six years studying and working in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. I now make my home with my wife Véronique and daughter Laura in a small village in the Swiss Alps. This scrapbook is meant to help me remember, and if it amuses you, so much the better.
