Coldness Quotes

On ironic detachment and dispassionate focus.

These quotes examine coldness as a stylistic and practical trait, favored by writers avoiding sadness and useful in calm business decisions.

I think coldness is chic among writers, and particularly ironic coldness. What is absolutely not allowable is sadness. People will do anything rather than to acknowledge that they are sad.

Quotes by Mary Gordon

When I concentrate, my face is deadpan and I can see there is a coldness there - when I'm making business decisions I know I can be quite dispassionate.

Quotes by Deborah Meaden
