Quote of the Day | 0909
Probably the fundamental thesis is this: “the innocent eye sees nothing”. We see what, in one way or another, we are disposed to see. What disposes us may be in some degree biological, but it is primarily cultural; what we see is what tradition enables us to see.
Frank Kermode, “What is art?”, The New York Review of Books, February 1964
