Customary Practice

Famous quotes containing the words customary and/or practice:

“It has become customary to say that a man needs only six feet of land. But a corpse needs six feet, not a person.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

“Fine art, that exists for itself alone, is art in a final state of impotence. If nobody, including the artist, acknowledges art as a means of knowing the world, then art is relegated to a kind of rumpus room of the mind and the irresponsibility of the artist and the irrelevance of art to actual living becomes part and parcel of the practice of art.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
