Famous quotes containing the words conventional and/or morality:
“My attitude toward punctuation is that it ought to be as conventional as possible. The game of golf would lose a good deal if croquet mallets and billiard cues were allowed on the putting green. You ought to be able to show that you can do it a good deal better than anyone else with the regular tools before you have a license to bring in your own improvements.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“For morality life is a war, and the service of the highest is a sort of cosmic patriotism which also calls for volunteers.”
—William James (1842–1910)
