Katherine Anne Porter Quotes
A cultivated style would be like a mask. Everybody knows it's a mask, and sooner or later you must show yourself - or at least, you show yourself as someone who could not afford to show himself, and so created something to hide behind... You do not create a style. You work, and develop yourself; your style is an emanation from your own being.
