Limits

Famous quotes containing the word limits:

    “An art whose limits depend on a moving image, mass audience, and industrial production is bound to differ from an art whose limits depend on language, a limited audience, and individual creation. In short, the filmed novel, in spite of certain resemblances, will inevitably become a different artistic entity from the novel on which it is based.”
    —George Bluestone, U.S. educator, critic. “The Limits of the Novel and the Limits of the Film,” Novels Into Film, Johns Hopkins Press (1957)

    “Now rest in peace, our patriot band;
    Though far from nature’s limits thrown,
    We trust they find a happier land,
    A brighter sunshine of their own.”
    —Philip Freneau (1752–1832)

    “It is of the essence of imaginative culture that it transcends the limits both of the naturally possible and of the morally acceptable.”
    —Northrop Frye (b. 1912)
