Well, I'd say yes
He was not a king, a prince, a prime minister, a major... Nothing like that. Another hint: he lived in the XX century.-

Two thumbs up!!! Yes, it was Camus.
PS. How the h*** could you have guessed it???? So many famous Frenchies in the XX century! He was just highlighting the common cultural heritage of Spain, Italy and France, so I do not think his birthplace had much to do on this.
It's your turn Master Waku!Comment

I promise I was guessing. I thought if the quote wasn't said by a politician, it had been said by an artist/philosopher, then after searching for info about Sartre and Picasso(*), it came the Camus' turn and I found he was born in Alger and... Camus, auteur de vingt ans: un jeune esthète apprenti-philosophe imprégné d'idéologie méditerranéenne... you know the rest
(*) I tried Picasso just in case frenchman were a tricky hint

I think I've found a good one:
The enemies of American civilization-- for such are the enemies of slavery-- seem to be more on the alert than its friends.
It was said in the 19th century and it has nothing to do with Spain but with Latin AmericaComment

This was said by a rather famous Habsburg person... He wasn't spanish but it's ok whit Habsburgs to, right? It's not that hard though, you will probaly solve it pretty soon. Therefore I would like as many of the question marks above filled out as possible, that will probably not be too hard either Let's see how you do...

Come to think of it he might be a spanish decendant, the habsburgs wherent very picky about which relatives they married (after they came to power that is) and there where spanish as well as austrians/germans in the house of habsburg.No Fighting here, this is the war room!Comment
