Henry David Thoreau Quotes
Who Cares What A Man's Style Is, So It Is Intelligible,
as Intelligible As His Thought. Literally And Really, The Style Is No More Than The Stylus, The Pen He Writes With; And It Is Not Worth Scraping And Polishing, And Gilding, Unless It Will Write His Thoughts The Better For It. It Is Something For Use, And Not To Look At. The Question For Us Is, Not Whether Pope Had A Fine Style, Wrote With A Peacock's Feather, But Whether He Uttered Useful Thoughts.
