14. “Culture is born in leisure and an awareness of standards, and pioneer conditions tend to make energetic and uncritical work an end it itself, to preach a gospel of social unconsciousness, which lingers long after the pioneer conditions have disappeared.”
15. “Every human society possesses a mythology which is inherited, transmitted and diversified by literature.”

Best Quotes Images By Northrop Frye

31. “In an immature society culture is an import; for a mature one it is a native manufacture which eventually becomes an export.”

39. “Literature is conscious mythology: as society develops, its mythical stories become structural principles of story-telling, its mythical concepts, sun-gods, and the like, become habits of metaphoric thought. In a fully mature literary tradition, the writer enters into a structure of traditional stories and images.”
40. “Literature is founded on the metaphor that arrests logic and the myth that arrests history; its works are objects of contemplation.”
Wise Sayings Pictures By Northrop Frye
41. “Literature is not a subject of study, but an object of study; the fact that it consists of words, as we have seen, makes us confuse it with the talking verbal disciplines.”
42. “Literature is the total body of stories and symbols that provides hypotheses or models of human behavior and experience.”
43. “Literature, we said, is conscious mythology; it creates an autonomous world that gives us an imaginative perspective on the actual one.”

48. “Restoration is an often disastrous solution: tourists in English cathedrals hear a good deal about the vandalism of Cromwell’s soldiers, but the devastation wrought by Victorian restorers has been often far worse, however much better the motive.”
49. “Revolutions are started, though they are seldom finished, by people of conviction. Nothing is more tedious than other people’s convictions and the most natural response to tedium is apathy.”
50. “Science fiction frequently tries to imagine what life would be like on a plane as far above us as we are above savagery; its setting is often of a kind that appears to us as technologically miraculous. It is thus a mode of romance with a strong inherent tendency to myth.”
Best Sayings Images From Northrop Frye
51. “Science fiction may conceivably be a primitive beginning of a new form of heroic epic; Beckett and similar types of literary nihilism the primitive beginnings of a new antithetical pessimism.”

54. “The child beginning geometry is presented with a dot and it is told, first, that that is a pointer, and second, that it is not a point. He cannot advance until he accepts both statements at once.”
55. “The conception pi does not mean anything except another mathematical formulation of it. In ordinary experience the shortest distance between two points may not be a straight line, as the shortest way to get to the other side of a wall is around by the door, but geometry knows nothing of such existential untidiness.”
56. “The difference between non-objective and abstract painting may be suggested by the difference between mathematics and music.”
57. “The disinterested imaginative core of mythology is what develops into literature, science, philosophy. Religion is applied to mythology.”
58. “The distance between pupil and teacher diminishes as the former gets older: by the end of high school the teacher should be a a fellow student.”
59. “The end of art is an epiphany, perceiving the particular is universal, the grain of sand as the world.”
60. “The mystic finds, at the heart of the illusion of space, a real presence.”
Inspiring Sayings Images From Northrop Frye
61. “The reason why detectives in detective stories are so preternaturally intelligent is that they’re angels. Guardian angels of society; avenging angels for the murder. Everyone is guilty of something, so all the major character are suspects.”
62. “The social energy which maintains the class structure produces perverted culture in its three chief forms: mere upper-class culture, or ostentation, mere middle-class culture, or vulgarity, and mere lower-class culture, or squalor.”
63. “The television set is so much more introverted than even the movie, and the movie in turn, more introverted than the concert hall or the stage”
64. “The ups and downs of this cosmos may sometimes be acknowledged to be metaphorical ups and downs, but until about Newton’s time most people took the up of heaven and the down of hell to be more or less descriptive.”
65. “The whole notion of ‘productive’ is an assembly-line notion that is now being outgrown. A scholar should take a creative interest in his subject, and what will make the ‘productive’ compulsion less universal will be the rise in adult education.”
66. “The wise man looks for the invisible line between the is and the is not which is the way through.”
67. “The world of waking consciousness represents for the creative imagination, a low level of reality.”
68. “The yoga intuition is founded on the notion of transforming the body, & I don’t know if there’s any Christian alternative answer to it. Our present body is almost wholly unknown to the consciousness which inhabits it. Yoga creates an imaginative body in its place, & goes to work on that.”
69. “There are two kinds of illusion, the negative illusion which merely fails to be a reality, and the illusion which exists as a potentiality or model in the mind, as a fiction which does not yet exist but may be brought into existence or realized by a creative mind.”
70. “There doesn’t seem to be a recognized yoga of art, not that it matters, for there is one anyway, and I don’t have to pretend to myself, as I should to students, that I know what it means. Suppose I call it Sutra-Yoga. Sutra, like strophe & verse, means the turn, the vortical twist of the mind in the imagined form.”
Great Sayings Images From Northrop Frye
71. “There is no such thing as inherent or built-in relevance; no subject is relevant in itself, because every field of knowledge is equally the centre of all knowledge.”
72. “To increase consciousness is to increase mobility by metaphor.”
73. “Tragedy is a paradoxical combination of a fearful sense of rightness and a pitying sense of wrongness.”
74. “We celebrate the Resurrection every Easter, but Easter by itself does not suggest resurrection; it suggests only the renewing of the cycle of time, the euphoria with which we greet the end of winter and the coming of summer.”
75. “We have criticism simply because the directed experience of literature is never adequate.”
76. “We have manic people talking about the Age of Aquarius, where everything is just going to be wonderful, and then we have depressive people talking about atomic bombs and the destruction of civilization.”
77. “What is popular in our generation often becomes ridiculous in the next one, quaint in the third, and is finally regarded as primitive in the fourth.”
78. “What is relevant to the student is not what is related to what or where he is at the moment, but to what he may become or where he may arrive as the result of being a student.”
79. “What’s produced the aeroplane is not so much a desire to fly as a rebellion against the tyranny of time and space. And that’s a process that can never stop, no matter how high our Titovs and Glenns may go.”
80. “When all the intelligence, morality, reverence, and simian cunning of man confronts a sphinx-like riddle of the indefinite like the Canadian winter, the man seems as helpless as a trapped mink and as lonely as a loon.”
81. “Yoga is the voluntary suppression of the involuntary actions of the mind. We’re all born with a natural yoga: we’re freed by objective energy and our consciousness freezes it into matter.”
82. “You are physically and socially mature. You are, of course, intellectually immature. So are we, on the staff; so is everybody. In the intellectual world the only mature people are those who are willing to admit their immaturity.”
