Famous quotes containing the word models:

    “The parents who wish to lead a quiet life I would say: Tell your children that they are very naughty—much naughtier than most children; point to the young people of some acquaintances as models of perfection, and impress your own children with a deep sense of their own inferiority. You carry so many more guns than they do that they cannot fight you. This is called moral influence and it will enable you to bounce them as much as you please.”
    —Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    “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)

    “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)
