Famous quotes containing the words archaic and/or styles:
“Almost always tradition is nothing but a record and a machine-made imitation of the habits that our ancestors created. The average conservative is a slave to the most incidental and trivial part of his forefathers’ glory—to the archaic formula which happened to express their genius or the eighteenth-century contrivance by which for a time it was served.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
“There are only two styles of portrait painting; the serious and the smirk.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
