Memory/models

Famous quotes containing the words memory and/or models:

    No memory of having starred
    Atones for later disregard,
    Or keeps the end from being hard.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    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)
