Famous quotes containing the words style and/or today:
“The most durable thing in writing is style, and style is the most valuable investment a writer can make with his time.

“My advice to people today is as follows: If you take the game of life seriously, if you take your nervous system seriously, if you take your sense organs seriously, if you take the energy process seriously, you must turn on, tune in, and drop out.”
—Timothy Leary (b. 1920)
