Famous quotes containing the words performance and/or style:
“What avails it that you are a Christian, if you are not purer than the heathen, if you deny yourself no more, if you are not more religious?

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“His style is eminently colloquial, and no wonder it is strange to meet with in a book. It is not literary or classical; it has not the music of poetry, nor the pomp of philosophy, but the rhythms and cadences of conversation endlessly repeated.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
