Famous quotes containing the words naming and/or convention:

    “Husband,
    who am I to reject the naming of foods
    in a time of famine?”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Every one knows about the young man who falls in love with the chorus-girl because she can kick his hat off, and his sister’s friends can’t or won’t. But the youth who marries her, expecting that all her departures from convention will be as agile or as delightful to him as that, is still the classic example of folly.”
    —Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
