Famous quotes containing the words commonly and/or modes:

    To enjoy a thing exclusively is commonly to exclude yourself from the true enjoyment of it.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    In the final analysis, “style” is art. And art is nothing more or less than various modes of stylized, dehumanized representation.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
