More From F. Scott Fitzgerald

Architecture is art. i don't think you should say that too much, but it is art. i mean, architecture is many, many things. architecture is science, is technology, is geography, is typography, is anthropology, is sociology, is art, is history. you know all this comes together. architecture is a kind of bouillabaisse, an incredible bouillabaisse. and, by the way, architecture is also a very polluted art in the sense that it's polluted by life, and by the complexity of things.
Art Mean Technology
All important architecture of the last century was strongly influenced by political systems. look at the soviet system, with its constructivism and stalinism, weimer with its modern style, mussolini and, of course, the nazis and albert speer's colossal structures. today's architecture is subservient to the market and its terms. the market has supplanted ideology. architecture has turned into a spectacle. it has to package itself and no longer has significance as anything but a landmark.
Political Style Important
Fashion is temporary; fashion is a race. what it's doing is giving you something that you say, "this is the outer wrapping of me." style is something else. it's not quantifiable. fashion is about selling. fashion is about what's in. style is independent of that; style is individual.
Fashion Independent Race
The reaction to any word may be, in an individual, either a mob-reaction or an individual reaction. it is up to the individual to ask himself: is my reaction individual, or am i merely reacting from my mob-self? when it comes to the so-called obscene words, i should say that hardly one person in a million escapes mob-reaction.
Self May Language
But everything written has style. the list of ingredients on the side of a cornflakes box has style. and everything literary has literary style. and style is integral to a work. how something is told correlates with - more - makes what's being told. a story is its style.

Similar Quotes
I have some friends whose sermons are extremely practical - so practical that i can put them right to use. i'm trying to learn how to do that better; but i don't think my approach or style really has changed in these 30 years. whether that's good or bad i don't know, but i don't think it has.
Thinking Years Style
I just needed to realize that style was like personality - it didn't always have to be consistent; it just had to be something you lived with.
Personality Style Realizing
You do not create a style. you work, and develop yourself; your style is an emanation from your own being.
