“Fashion is not style. Nay, we can say more: Fashion is instead of style. Style is an idiom springing spontaneously from the personality but deliberately maintained. If you have no personality, you may be able to save your face and, possibly, your entire anatomy by following the current fashion, but all we shall know about you, when we see you coming down the street, is that you had enough money to buy a glossy magazine and were sufficiently cunning to work out the cut of the garments shown therein.” IfsKnowsMayEnoughAbleFacesCuttingStreetsFashionStylePersonalityCurrentsFollowingWork OutMagazinesYour FaceCunningGarmentsHad EnoughAnatomyIdiom Author:Quentin Crisp

“There are, occasionally, writers who are able to combine both story and style. They are, of course, the best. You get a spectacular view and you also get to look at it from the backseat of a chauffeur-driven Cadillac. In the field of fantasy, those writers able to combine story-as-narration with story-as-style are even rarer. But there are a few...the late Theodore Sturgeon, the early Ray Bradbury...and Richard Christian Matheson.

“Young people are dazzled by the brilliancy of antithesis, and employ it. Matter-of-fact men, and those who like precision, naturally fall into comparisons and metaphor. Sprightly natures, full of fire, and whom a boundless imagination carries beyond all rules, and even what is reasonable, cannot rest satisfied even with hyperbole. As for the sublime, it is only great geniuses and those of the very highest order that are able to rise to its height.” PeopleMenMatterFactsAbleYoungOrderFallImaginationFireStyleGeniusHighestMetaphorSatisfiedHeightReasonableComparisonCarrieSublimeBoundlessPrecisionMatter Of FactAntithesisHyperbole Author:Jean de la Bruyere
