Sudden/style

Famous quotes containing the words sudden and/or style:

“There are these sudden mobs of men,
These sudden clouds of faces and arms,
An immense suppression, freed,
These voices crying without knowing for what,
Except to be happy, without knowing how,
Imposing forms they cannot describe,
Requiring order beyond their speech.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“All my stories are webs of style and none seems at first blush to contain much kinetic matter.... For me “style” is matter.”
