Speech Style

Famous quotes containing the words speech and/or style:

    “If the oarsmen of a fast-moving ship suddenly cease to row, the suspension of the driving force of the oars doesn’t prevent the vessel from continuing to move on its course. And with a speech it is much the same. After he has finished reciting the document, the speaker will still be able to maintain the same tone without a break, borrowing its momentum and impulse from the passage he has just read out.”
    —Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C)

    “No change in musical style will survive unless it is accompanied by a change in clothing style. Rock is to dress up to.”
    —Frank Zappa (1940–1994)
