Famous quotes containing the words leadership and/or convention:

    “A woman who occupies the same realm of thought with man, who can explore with him the depths of science, comprehend the steps of progress through the long past and prophesy those of the momentous future, must ever be surprised and aggravated with his assumptions of leadership and superiority, a superiority she never concedes, an authority she utterly repudiates.”
    —Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)

    “By convention there is color, by convention sweetness, by
    convention bitterness, but in reality there are atoms and space.”
    —Democritus (c. 460–400 B.C.)
