Famous quotes containing the words prose and/or style:
“Good authors, too, who once knew better words
Now only use four-letter words
Writing prose ...
Anything goes.”
—Cole Porter (1893–1964)
“A cultivated style would be like a mask. Everybody knows it’s a mask, and sooner or later you must show yourself—or at least, you show yourself as someone who could not afford to show himself, and so created something to hide behind.... You do not create a style. You work, and develop yourself; your style is an emanation from your own being.”
—Katherine Anne Porter (1890–1980)
