Famous quotes containing the word conventions:

    “I find nothing healthful or exalting in the smooth conventions of society. I do not like the close air of saloons. I begin to suspect myself to be a prisoner, though treated with all this courtesy and luxury. I pay a destructive tax in my conformity.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “It is not human nature we should accuse but the despicable conventions that pervert it.”
    —Denis Diderot (1713–1784)

    “Why does almost everything seem to me like its own parody? Why must I think that almost all, no, all the methods and conventions of art today are good for parody only?”
    —Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
