Famous quotes containing the words technique and/or style:

    “Technique is the test of sincerity. If a thing isn’t worth getting the technique to say, it is of inferior value.”
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    “To write well, to have style ... is to paint. The master faculty of style is therefore the visual memory. If a writer does not see what he describes—countrysides and figures, movements and gestures—how could he have a style, that is originality?”
