Famous quotes containing the words visual and/or shock:
“To write well, to have style ... is to paint. The master faculty of style is therefore the visual memory. If a writer does not see what he describes—countrysides and figures, movements and gestures—how could he have a style, that is originality?”
—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
“Civilized society is one huge bourgeoisie: no nobleman dares now shock his greengrocer.”
