Famous quotes containing the words grey and/or imports:
“Ae spring brought off her master hale,
But left behind her ain grey tail:”
—Robert Burns (1759–1796)
“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)
