Famous quotes containing the words gibson and/or models:
“He seemed to be of no particular race, or, in certain lights, to belong to some race that nobody else belonged to.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
“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)
