English Breakfast

Famous quotes containing the words english and/or breakfast:

“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)

“You had your breakfast in bed before,
But you won’t have it there anymore.”
—Irving Berlin (1888–1989)
