Quote by Cole Porter
Good authors, too, who once knew better words now only use four-letter words writing prose... anything goes.
Summary
This quote suggests that even accomplished authors may abandon their sophisticated vocabulary and resort to using crude four-letter words in their writing. It implies that they employ any means necessary, disregarding traditional norms or rules, in order to convey their message or capture attention. The quote reflects the notion that in modern literature, there are no strict limitations on style or language, and authors feel free to explore unconventional approaches, even if it means deviating from the more refined language they once used.
