Famous quotes containing the word style:
“The most durable thing in writing is style, and style is the most valuable investment a writer can make with his time.

“Switzerland is a small, steep country, much more up and down than sideways, and is all stuck over with large brown hotels built on the cuckoo clock style of architecture.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
