Famous quotes containing the word conventions:
“Art, it seems to me, should simplify.

There are three cardinal rulesdont take somebody elses boyfriend unless youve been specifically invited to do so, dont take a drink without being asked, and keep a scrupulous accounting in financial matters.”

“Languages exist by arbitrary institutions and conventions among peoples; words, as the dialecticians tell us, do not signify naturally, but at our pleasure.”
