French Open Partnering

Famous quotes containing the words french and/or open:

“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)

“If we keep an open mind, too much is likely to fall into it.”
—Natalie Clifford Barney (1876–1972)
