Famous quotes containing the words diplomat and/or function:

“A diplomat these days is nothing but a head-waiter who’s allowed to sit down occasionally.”

“Advocating the mere tolerance of difference between women is the grossest reformism. It is a total denial of the creative function of difference in our lives.

—Audre Lorde (1934–1992)
