Famous quotes containing the word conventions:

    “What people don’t realize is that intimacy has its conventions as well as ordinary social intercourse. There are three cardinal rules—don’t take somebody else’s boyfriend unless you’ve been specifically invited to do so, don’t take a drink without being asked, and keep a scrupulous accounting in financial matters.”
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

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

    “Languages exist by arbitrary institutions and conventions among peoples; words, as the dialecticians tell us, do not signify naturally, but at our pleasure.”
    —François Rabelais (1494–1553)
