Ascend above the restrictions and conventions of the world, but not so high as to lose sight of them. (Richard Garnett)

Conventionality is not morality. Self-righteousness is not religion. To attack the first is not to assail the last. (Charlotte Brontë)

When she stopped conforming to the conventional picture of feminity she finally began to enjoy being a woman. (Betty Friedan)

What men call civilization is the condition of present customs; what they call barbarism, the condition of past ones. (Anatole France)
