Conception

Famous quotes containing the word conception:

“The fact is that all writers create their precursors. Their work modifies our conception of the past, just as it is bound to modify the future.”

“Through art we express our conception of what nature is not.”
—Pablo Picasso (1881–1973)

“Every man is in a state of conflict, owing to his attempt to reconcile himself and his relationship with life to his conception of harmony. This conflict makes his soul a battlefield, where the forces that wish this reconciliation fight those that do not and reject the alternative solutions they offer. Works of art are attempts to fight out this conflict in the imaginative world.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
