More quotes by Pierre Trudeau
Let us overthrow the totems, break the taboos. Or better, let us consider them cancelled. Coldly, let us be intelligent.
Pierre Trudeau

Pierre Trudeau

Pierre Trudeau
I think violence is counter-productive and it is bad in democratic societies.
Pierre Trudeau

Pierre Trudeau
Paddling a canoe is a source of enrichment and inner renewal.
Pierre Trudeau
A country, after all, is not something you build as the pharaohs built the pyramids, and then leave standing there to defy eternity. A country is something that is built every day out of certain basic shared values.
Pierre Trudeau
This is the beauty of the democratic process: it permits that subjective view of justice - which everyone holds - permits that subjective way to express itself peacefully through discussion, through reason and through the voting process.
Pierre Trudeau
Canada is seen to some as a confederation of shopping centres.
Pierre Trudeau
Long live free France.
Pierre Trudeau
Well, I am trying to put Quebec in its place - and the place of Quebec is in Canada, nowhere else.
Pierre Trudeau
I honestly don't know what they mean by a devout Catholic.
Pierre Trudeau
