Famous quotes containing the words playing and/or style:

    —Karen Horney (1885–1952)

    “A style does not go out of style as long as it adapts itself to its period. When there is an incompatibility between the style and a certain state of mind, it is never the style that triumphs.”
    —Coco Chanel (1883–1971)
