“Everyone knows ladies love Cajuns. It's in our blood and our language is the language of romance.""Your language is the language of bullshit. You're just a couple of good ole boys with pretty faces. Women just ought to know better.”

“The language of intrinsic human rights represented a significant advance beyond the previous language of world religions in terms of its universal applicability and its thiswordliness.”
