Latin Style

Famous quotes containing the words latin and/or style:

“Where liberty dwells there is my country.”
—Anonymous. Latin phrase.

Adopted as a motto by U.S. patriot and orator James Otis (1725-1783)

“The habit some writers indulge in of perpetual quotation is one it behoves lovers of good literature to protest against, for it is an insidious habit which in the end must cloud the stream of thought, or at least check spontaneity. If it be true that le style c’est l’homme, what is likely to happen if l’homme is for ever eking out his own personality with that of some other individual?”
—Dame Ethel Smyth (1858–1944)
