Famous quotes containing the words rhythmic and/or styles:

    A great many quite good plays could be performed with rhythmic howls in the place of dialogue and lose almost nothing by the change.
    Rebecca West (1892–1983)

    Can we love our children when they are homely, awkward, unkempt, flaunting the styles and friendships we don’t approve of, when they fail to be the best, the brightest, the most accomplished at school or even at home? Can we be there when their world has fallen apart and only we can restore their faith and confidence in life?
    Neil Kurshan (20th century)
