The elegance and the quality - the talent is always in the literature. I start with the word and I base everything on that. It doesn't make any difference to me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Why has elegance found so little following? That is the reality of it. Elegance has the disadvantage, if that's what it is, that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it.
Elegance isn't solely defined by what you wear. It's how you carry yourself, how you speak, what you read.
Don't get me wrong, I admire elegance and have an appreciation of the finer things in life. But to me, beauty lies in simplicity.
Elegance is usually confused with superficiality, fashion, lack of depth. This is a serious mistake: human beings need to have elegance in their actions and in their posture because this word is synonymous with good taste, amiability, equilibrium and harmony.
I think my best quality as a writer is the ability to craft complicated, nuanced, interesting characters.
Talent is always more interesting - ambition is not interesting. If you have talent, you have to find ways of expressing it, but you may not be a success in the world's terms.
Elegance is all in the mind of the wearer.
The only real elegance is in the mind; if you've got that, the rest really comes from it.
Elegance is not a dispensable luxury but a factor that decides between success and failure.
I do not connect fashion to elegance. Elegance is in the wilderness, and fashion is in the domestic.
