Famous quotes containing the word models:

    “French rhetorical models are too narrow for the English tradition. Most pernicious of French imports is the notion that there is no person behind a text. Is there anything more affected, aggressive, and relentlessly concrete than a Parisan intellectual behind his/her turgid text? The Parisian is a provincial when he pretends to speak for the universe.”
    —Camille Paglia (b. 1947)

    “Today it is not the classroom nor the classics which are the repositories of models of eloquence, but the ad agencies.”
    —Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)

    “The greatest and truest models for all orators ... is Demosthenes. One who has not studied deeply and constantly all the great speeches of the great Athenian, is not prepared to speak in public. Only as the constant companion of Demosthenes, Burke, Fox, Canning and Webster, can we hope to become orators.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
