Conventionality quotes by Ambrose Bierce
Curiosity did NOT kill the cat; conventionality did. ~ Lisa Laird DiRosso
Conventionality quotes by Lisa Laird DiRosso

Historically, Alaska is a place that has attracted those fed up with conventionality. ~ Bill O'Reilly
Conventionality quotes by Bill O'Reilly
If a person is to be unconventional, he must be amusing or he is intolerable: for, in the nature of the case, he guarantees you nothing but amusement. He does not guarantee you any of the little amenities by which society has assured itself that, if it must go to sleep, it will at least sleep in a comfortable chair. ~ Katharine Fullerton Gerould
Conventionality quotes by Katharine Fullerton Gerould
There is a bond of fellowship in sorrow that knows no conventionality. ~ Harold Bell Wright
Conventionality quotes by Harold Bell Wright
What future did the Jazter see for himself, exactly? Would his days of shikar continue indefinitely, or did he dare look beyond the beaches and the train stations and the alleys? Could he, in some part buried deep within, secretly crave conventionality? (Or was that too much of a heresy?) ~ Manil Suri
Conventionality quotes by Manil Suri
This was life! Ah, how he loved it! Civilization held nothing like this in its narrow and circumscribed sphere, hemmed in by restrictions and conventionalities. Even clothes were a hindrance and a nuisance. At last he was free. He had not realized what a prisoner he had been. ~ Edgar Rice Burroughs
Conventionality quotes by Edgar Rice Burroughs
Conventionality is the tacit agreement to set appearances before reality, form before content ... ~ Ellen Key
Conventionality quotes by Ellen Key
Conventionality is not morality. Self-righteousness is not religion. To attack the first is not to assail the last. ~ Charlotte Bronte
Conventionality quotes by Charlotte Bronte
I suspect that inside the impenetrable fortress of conventionality he's become, there's one crazy-ass museum. ~ Jandy Nelson
Conventionality quotes by Jandy Nelson
Here society is reduced to its original elements, the whole fabric of art and conventionality is struck rudely to pieces, and men find themselves suddenly brought back to the wants and resources of their original natures. ~ Francis Parkman
Conventionality quotes by Francis Parkman
The world is put back by the death of every one who has to sacrifice the development of his or her peculiar gifts to conventionality. ~ Florence Nightingale
Conventionality quotes by Florence Nightingale
I want to emphasize the idea of black as intellectuality and conventionality. ~ Ad Reinhardt
Conventionality quotes by Ad Reinhardt
We are not supposed to all be the same, feel the same, think the same, and believe the same. The key to continued expansion of our Universe lies in diversity, not in conformity and coercion. Conventionality is the death of creation. ~ Anthon St. Maarten
Conventionality quotes by Anthon St. Maarten
Perhaps you confuse virtue and convention, gentlemen. Conventionality is not morality, and self-righteousness is not religion. ~ Juliet Gael
Conventionality quotes by Juliet Gael
It is a great mistake to confuse conventionality with simplicity ... it takes a good deal of intelligence and a great many inhibitions to follow a social code. ~ Katharine Fullerton Gerould
Conventionality quotes by Katharine Fullerton Gerould
'Mediocre' tends to mean 'undistinguished', while snobs enjoy their distinguishing hallmarks of style - how they wear clothes, use words, where they go and gather and gossip ... Whatever the circumstances the genius has put you into, the fact of individuality defends the soul against all class-action claims. No soul is mediocre, whatever your personal taste for conventionality, whatever your personal record of middling achievements. ~ James Hillman
Conventionality quotes by James Hillman
What worse illness can there be than acute conventionality. You should pray every night that you don't wake up with it. ~ George Weinberg
Conventionality quotes by George Weinberg
The standard heroes and heroines of novels, are personages in whom I could never, from childhood upwards, take an interest, believe to be natural, or wish to imitate: were I obliged to copy these characters, I would simply
not write at all. Were I obliged to copy any former novelist, even the greatest, even Scott, in anything , I would not write
Unless I have something of my own to say, and a way of my own to say it in, I have no business to publish; unless I can look beyond the greatest Masters, and study Nature herself, I have no right to paint; unless I can have the courage to use the language of Truth in preference to the jargon of Conventionality, I ought to be silent. ~ Charlotte Bronte
Conventionality quotes by Charlotte Bronte
Though we are grateful for the affection 30 Rock has received from critics and hipsters, we were actually trying to make a hit show. We weren't trying to make a low-rated critical darling that snarled in the face of conventionality. We were trying to make Home Improvement and we did it wrong. ~ Tina Fey
