Famous quotes containing the word conventions:

    “It is not human nature we should accuse but the despicable conventions that pervert it.”
    —Denis Diderot (1713–1784)

    “Why does almost everything seem to me like its own parody? Why must I think that almost all, no, all the methods and conventions of art today are good for parody only?”
    —Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

    “Art, it seems to me, should simplify. That, indeed, is very nearly the whole of the higher artistic process; finding what conventions of form and what detail one can do without and yet preserve the spirit of the whole—so that all that one has suppressed and cut away is there to the reader’s consciousness as much as if it were in type on the page.”
    —Willa Cather (1873–1947)
