Calling Conventions

Famous quotes containing the words calling and/or conventions:

“When I was in high school I thought a vocation was a particular calling. Here’s a voice: “Come, follow me.” My idea of a calling now is not: “Come.” It’s like what I’m doing right now, not what I’m going to be. Life is a calling.”
—Rebecca Sweeney (b. 1938)

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