Famous quotes containing the words french and/or president:
“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)
“I can’t be President since I am a naturalized citizen, but I figured everything else was fair game.”
—Arati Prabhakar (b. c. 1959)
