Accent/art

Famous quotes containing the words accent and/or art:

“An accent mark, perhaps, instead of a whole western accent—a point of punctuation rather than a uniform twang. That is how it should be worn: as a quiet point of character reference, an apt phrase of sartorial allusion—macho, sotto voce.”
—Phil Patton (b. 1953)

“A burglar who respects his art always takes his time before taking anything else.”
—O. Henry [William Sydney Porter] (1862–1910)
