Famous quotes containing the words contemporary and/or sketches:

    “Eclecticism is the degree zero of contemporary general culture: one listens to reggae, watches a western, eats McDonald’s food for lunch and local cuisine for dinner, wears Paris perfume in Tokyo and “retro” clothes in Hong Kong; knowledge is a matter for TV games. It is easy to find a public for eclectic works.”
    —Jean François Lyotard (b. 1924)

    “Turning one’s novel into a movie script is rather like making a series of sketches for a painting that has long ago been finished and framed.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
