Prose Style

Famous quotes containing the words prose and/or style:

    Social questions are too sectional, too topical, too temporal to move a man to the mighty effort which is needed to produce great poetry. Prison reform may nerve Charles Reade to produce an effective and businesslike prose melodrama; but it could never produce Hamlet, Faust, or Peer Gynt.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    Style is the man himself.
    [Le style c’est l’homme même.]
    Leclerc, George-Louis Buffon, Comte De (1707–1788)
