 Conventionality quotes 
Suggest Revision: The barriers of conventionality have been raised so high, and so strangely cemented by long existence, that the only hope of overt hrowing them exists in the union of numbers linked together by common opinion and effort...the united watchword of thousands would strike at the foundation of the false system and annihilate it.
 
 Katharine Fullerton Gerould quotes 
 Conventionality quotes 
Suggest Revision: If a person is to be unconventional, he must be amusing or he is intolerable: for, in the nature of the case, he guarantees yo u 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 quotes 
 Conventionality quotes 
Suggest Revision: No convention gets to be a convention at all except by grace of a lot of clever and powerful people first inventing it, and then I mposing it on others. You can be pretty sure, if you are strictly conventional, that you are following genius--a long way off. And unless you are a genius yourself, that is a good thing to do.

 Deception quotes   Conventionality quotes 
Suggest Revision: When people say they do not care what others think of them, for the most part they deceive themselves. Generally they mean only that they will do as they choose, in the confidence that no one will know their vagaries; and at the utmost only that they are willing to act contrary to the opinion of the majorities because they are supported by the approval of their neighbors. Its not difficult to be unconventional in the eyes of the world when your unconventionality is but the convention of your set.

Conventionality has greater meaning for those who follow them without raising any questions about it. Convention is largely related to religion which is something connected with the belief and emotions. Therefore, no body dares to raise questions about conventionality. But those who are against are branded as reformists. Bertrand Russell said, “Conventional people are roused to fury by departures from convention, largely because they regard such departures as a criticism of themselves”. But if you imagine a situation wherein you throw away all the convention to the air and live as you like, there would be no morality nor there would be a code of conduct for every human to live with. So, conventionality is essential but it should be within its limits such that they do not interfere with the basic reasoning that is unique to humans. Here are various views on conventionality; read them and enjoy.
