Convention Performer

Famous quotes containing the words convention and/or performer:

“The metaphor of the king as the shepherd of his people goes back to ancient Egypt. Perhaps the use of this particular convention is due to the fact that, being stupid, affectionate, gregarious, and easily stampeded, the societies formed by sheep are most like human ones.”
—Northrop Frye (b. 1912)

“The ultimate sin of any performer is contempt for the audience.”
—Lester Bangs (1948–1982)
