Famous quotes containing the words call and/or rejection:
“Our truth of nowadays is not what is, but what others can be convinced of; just as we call money not only that which is legal, but also any counterfeit that will pass.”

“What is termed Sin is an essential element of progress. Without it the world would stagnate, or grow old, or become colourless. By its curiosity Sin increases the experience of the race. Through its intensified assertion of individualism it saves us from monotony of type. In its rejection of the current notions about morality, it is one with the higher ethics.”
—Oscar Wilde (18541900)
