Point Count

Famous quotes containing the words point and/or count:

“Where there is no style, there is in effect no point of view. There is, essentially, no anger, no conviction, no self. Style is opinion, hung washing, the calibre of a bullet, teething beads.... One’s style holds one, thankfully, at bay from the enemies of it but not from the stupid crucifixions by those who must willfully misunderstand it.”
—Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)

“We do not mean to count or weigh our contributions by any standard other than that of our abilities.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
