STYLE

  
Joan Crawford was the living example of one of the basic rules of style. That which cannot be wholly concealed should be deliberately displayed.

-- Quentin Crisp

I don’t like the discrimination against style that some people have. Every serious writer has a style… Style isn’t camp or chi-chi. I write in a certain way because I can express things that I couldn’t express in naturalistic terms. In naturalistic drama you can’t do anything except discuss teacup things, you know -- Mavis’ new hat.

-- Joe Orton
