Sudden/style

Famous quotes containing the words sudden and/or style:

“A sudden light transfigures a trivial thing, a weather-vane, a wind-mill, a winnowing flail, the dust in the barn door; a moment,—and the thing has vanished, because it was pure effect; but it leaves a relish behind it, a longing that the accident may happen again.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)

“We think it is the richest prose style we know of.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
