''To give
style'' to one's character -- a great and rare art! He
exercises it who surveys all that his nature presents in
strength and weakness and then moulds it to an artistic plan
until everything appears as art and reason, and even the
weaknesses delight the eye.
-- Friedrich Nietzsche
1844-1900, German Philosopher

Oh, never mind
the fashion. When one has a style of one's own, it is always
twenty times better.

When we see a
natural style, we are astonished and charmed; for we
expected to see an author, and we find a person.
-- Blaise Pascal
1623-1662, French Scientist,
Religious Philosopher
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, American
short-story Writer, Novelist
No good poetry
is ever written in a manner twenty years old, for to write
in such a manner shows conclusively that the writer thinks
from books, convention and cliché, not from real life.
-- Ezra Pound
1885-1972, American Poet,
Critic
