It is the nurse who holds the hand of a patient without a family, who talks to them while they take their last breaths, who aches for them while they die alone.

What's important is the way we say it. Art is all about craftsmanship. Others can interpret craftsmanship as style if they wish. Style is what unites memory or recollection, ideology, sentiment, nostalgia, presentiment, to the way we express all that. It's not what we say but how we say it that matters. — Federico Fellini
