quotes---

from Virginia Woolf;

Life is:
a luminous halo; a semi-transparent envelope surrounding us from the beginning of consciousness to the end. ("Modern Fiction")

The task of the artist is to:
convey this varying, this unknown and uncircumscribed spirit(life) whatever aberration or complexity it may display, with as little mixture of the alien and external as possible. ("Modern Fiction")

On artistic vision:
if there is one gift more essential to a novelist than another, it is the power of combination-- the single vision. The success of the masterpieces seems to lie not so much in their freedom from faults... but in the immense persausiveness of a mind which has completely mastered its perspective. ("Novels of E.M. Forster")

On artistic form:
When we speak of form, we mean that certain emotions have been placed in the right relations to each other, then that the noevelist is able to dispose these emotions and make them tell by methods which he inherits for himself...it may be expected that novels will loes their chaos and become more shapely as the novelist explores and perfects his technique. ("On Re-reading Novels")

from roger fy;
On artistic form:
we mean by significant form something other than agreeable arrangements of form, harmonious patterns and the like. We feel that a work which possesses it is the outcome of an endeavour to express an idea rather than to create a pleasing object. ("Transformations")
