Style
Although Muse was primarily written in English, Chinese elements were also included. The magazine prided itself on its unique brand of bilingualism, a feature it believed to reflect the linguistic dualism and political complexities of postcolonial Hong Kong. Lam, the magazine’s Editorial Director, has likened Muse's use of English and to a jamming session between two musical traditions.

Famous quotes containing the word style:
“The old saying of Buffon’s that style is the man himself is as near the truth as we can get—but then most men mistake grammar for style, as they mistake correct spelling for words or schooling for education.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“Switzerland is a small, steep country, much more up and down than sideways, and is all stuck over with large brown hotels built on the cuckoo clock style of architecture.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“I shall christen this style the Mandarin, since it is beloved by literary pundits, by those who would make the written word as unlike as possible to the spoken one. It is the style of all those writers whose tendency is to make their language convey more than they mean or more than they feel, it is the style of most artists and all humbugs.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
