Romance Tradition

Famous quotes containing the words romance and/or tradition:

    Not romance but companionship makes the happiness of daily life.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    Almost always tradition is nothing but a record and a machine-made imitation of the habits that our ancestors created. The average conservative is a slave to the most incidental and trivial part of his forefathers’ glory—to the archaic formula which happened to express their genius or the eighteenth-century contrivance by which for a time it was served.
    Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
