Famous quotes containing the word limitations:

    “... art transcends its limitations only by staying within them.”
    —Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)

    “To note an artist’s limitations is but to define his talent. A reporter can write equally well about everything that is presented to his view, but a creative writer can do his best only with what lies within the range and character of his deepest sympathies.”
    —Willa Cather (1876–1947)

    “The limitations of pleasure cannot be overcome by more pleasure.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
