Older Models

Famous quotes containing the words older and/or models:

“She is older than the rocks among which she sits; like the vampire, she has been dead many times, and learned the secrets of the grave.”

“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)
