Kenjutsu/techniques and Styles

Famous quotes containing the words techniques and/or styles:

    The techniques of opening conversation are universal. I knew long ago and rediscovered that the best way to attract attention, help, and conversation is to be lost. A man who seeing his mother starving to death on a path kicks her in the stomach to clear the way, will cheerfully devote several hours of his time giving wrong directions to a total stranger who claims to be lost.
    John Steinbeck (1902–1968)

    There are only two styles of portrait painting; the serious and the smirk.
    Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
