Famous quotes containing the words conventional and/or current:
“People always blame the girl; she should have said no. A monosyllable, but conventional wisdom has always been that boys can’t manage it.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“Phlebas the Phoenician, a fortnight dead,
Forgot the cry of gulls, and the deep sea swell
And the profit and loss.
A current under sea
Picked his bones in whispers. As he rose and fell
He passed the stages of his age and youth
Entering the whirlpool.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
