Famous quotes containing the words style and, style and/or sound:
“The difference between style and taste is never easy to define, but style tends to be centered on the social, and taste upon the individual. Style then works along axes of similarity to identify group membership, to relate to the social order; taste works within style to differentiate and construct the individual.

—John Fiske (b. 1939)
“One man’s style must not be the rule of another’s.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
“Dialogue should simply be a sound among other sounds, just something that comes out of the mouths of people whose eyes tell the story in visual terms.”
—Alfred Hitchcock (1899–1980)
