Famous quotes containing the words world and/or conventions:
“Who wants a world in which the guarantee that we shall not die of starvation entails the risk of dying of boredom?”
—Raoul Vaneigem (b. 1934)
“Art, it seems to me, should simplify. That, indeed, is very nearly the whole of the higher artistic process; finding what conventions of form and what detail one can do without and yet preserve the spirit of the whole—so that all that one has suppressed and cut away is there to the reader’s consciousness as much as if it were in type on the page.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
