Famous quotes containing the words supreme and/or convention:
“We are all of us born in moral stupidity, taking the world as an udder to feed our supreme selves ...”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“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)
