"The election of Dany is a gift for the 350th anniversary of the town of Petit-Goâve, it arrived in time to show the world another side of Petit-Goâve, we hope that today's youth do of that glory their combat weapon... Long live the reading and writing and congratulations to Dany... Petit Goâve forward."

"I am so proud that I want to take again my pen. All the honor is to our proud city, Petit-Goâve."

"I salute the courage of Dany. This is a victory for the country and also for Petit-Goâve."

"Now, with the arrival of Dany to the French Academy, the French language is not only for us a colonial legacy but it becomes our most valuable asset. Long live the Francophonie in Haiti, that it is within the reach of all."

"Dany is a model to follow, his election to the French Academy should be an incentive for Haitian schoolchildren..."

"After Soulouque, Petit-Goâve has given the country in the person of Dany another great man not only in the history of Haiti but also to the world history."
