Quotes by Victor Shklovsky  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“You have to store up books, becoming acquainted with human experience; let them lie around your thoughts, becoming yours—ring upon ring, as a tree grows, let them rise up from the depths like coral islands.

If it gets crowded with all the books and there's nowhere to put your bed, it's better to exchange it for a folding bed”
Viktor Shklovsky

“And art exists that one may recover the sensation of life; it exists to make one feel things, to make the stone stony.”
Viktor Shklovsky, Art as Technique
tags: art

“Art makes the familiar strange so that it can be freshly perceived. To do this it presents its material in unexpected, even outlandish ways: the shock of the new.”
Viktor Shklovsky
