Victor Shklovsky Quotes

Habitualization Devours Objects, Clothes, Furniture, One's Wife, And The Fear Of War. If All The Complex Lives Of Many People Go On Unconsciously, Then Such Lives Are As If They Had Never Been.

Art Exists To Help Us Recover The Sensation Of Life; It Exists To Make Us Feel Things, To Make The Stone Stony. The End Of Art Is To Give A Sensation Of The Object Seen, Not As Recognized. The Technique Of Art Is To Make Things 'unfamiliar,' To Make Forms Obscure, So As To Increase The Difficulty And The Duration Of Perception. The Act Of Perception In Art Is An End In Itself And Must Be Prolonged. In Art, It Is Our Experience Of The Process Of Construction That Counts, Not The Finished Product.
