Famous quotes containing the words free and/or french:
“You’re the emblem of
The land I love,
The home of the free and the brave.”
—George M. Cohan (1878–1942)
“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)
