Famous quotes containing the words acute and/or accent:

    “One of those men who reach such an acute limited excellence at twenty-one that everything afterward savors of anti-climax.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    “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)
