Grey Imports

Famous quotes containing the words grey and/or imports:

    Towns are ... excrescences, grey fluxions, where men, hurrying to find one another, have lost themselves.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    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)
