Famous quotes containing the words putting and/or styles:

    “That was a way of putting it not very satisfactory:
    A periphrastic study in a worn-out poetical fashion,
    Leaving one still with the intolerable wrestle
    With words and meanings. The poetry does not matter”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “There are only two styles of portrait painting; the serious and the smirk.”
    —Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
