Single Convention

Famous quotes containing the words single and/or convention:

“It’s impossible for someone who is human to have all good things together, just as there is no single country able to provide all good things for itself.”
—Herodotus (c. 484–424 B.C.)

“No convention gets to be a convention at all except by grace of a lot of clever and powerful people first inventing it, and then imposing it on others. You can be pretty sure, if you are strictly conventional, that you are following genius—a long way off. And unless you are a genius yourself, that is a good thing to do.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
