Customary Practice

Famous quotes containing the words customary and/or practice:

“History warns us that it is the customary fate of new truths to begin as heresies and to end as superstitions.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

“Abused as we abuse it at present, dramatic art is in no sense cathartic; it is merely a form of emotional masturbation.... It is the rarest thing to find a player who has not had his character affected for the worse by the practice of his profession. Nobody can make a habit of self-exhibition, nobody can exploit his personality for the sake of exercising a kind of hypnotic power over others, and remain untouched by the process.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
