Text Quotes
We can raise our sights high when we’re willing to break free from being conformists who live a conventional life simply because we are too afraid to express our uniqueness. (Conventional Quotes)
There’s a conventional wisdom that says that strategic thinking is much more important than relationship building, which doesn’t seem to be nearly as highly valued as it should be, based on what some of the leaders that I’ve spoken with have said to me. (Conventional Quotes)
Whether you are buying a car or casting a ballot, choosing a job or planning a family, follow your moral compass. Don’t let others define you. Don’t let advertisers mold you; don’t let zealots ensnare you; don’t let conventional wisdom trap you....you are part of a much larger whole. (Conventional Quotes)
My businesses are usually built around challenging conventional wisdom, so I tend to gain by taking the other side. It’s been very profitable and entertaining for me (Conventional Quotes)
I never cared about making one coherent masterpiece with a conventional narrative. I always wanted my movies to have images falling from all directions in a vaudevillian way. If you didn’t like what was happening in one scene, you could just snooze through it until the next scene. (Conventional Quotes)
Every time I would give a talk, someone would say, ‘You ought to go into politics.’ I prefer to call it government leadership. My life has taken me to places where I have experiences that I think I can share. A lot of times, we see people who are career politicians. I’m not the conventional candidate, nor do I want to be. (Conventional Quotes)
The conventional wisdom with David Mamet is, you do not change a word. And that agrees with me. If you want to change any of David’s words, it’s like wanting to change the iambic pentameter in Shakespeare - you should do something else. (Conventional Quotes)
Isn’t a policy of conventional weapons, with the terrible bombs raining down, with the missiles, with the aircraft, with the submarines, with the torpedoes, with the tanks, with chemical weapons - isn’t that based on the possibility of threat? (Conventional Quotes)
Raising a child is a little like Picasso’s work; in the beginning he did very conventional representational things. Cubism came after he had the rules down pat. (Conventional Quotes)
If organized religion has become less relevant, it’s not because churches have held fast to their creedal beliefs - it’s because they’ve held fast to their conventional structures, programs, roles and routines. (Conventional Quotes)
When I campaign with seniors, it’s always, ‘Are you a Democrat or Republican?’ But when I campaign on college campuses, they ask me where I stand on specific issues. I think Millennials are much less interested in conventional labels. One thing that’s universal among Millennials is a distinct frustration with Washington, D.C. (Conventional Quotes)
Community organizing is all about building grassroots support. It’s about identifying the people around you with whom you can create a common, passionate cause. And it’s about ignoring the conventional wisdom of company politics and instead playing the game by very different rules. (Conventional Quotes)
If you move furniture all day, if you’re a construction worker, if you have a job that’s real physical, this idea that there is a sport that involves the kind of conventional, traditional view of toughness, you see that still as a positive thing. (Conventional Quotes)
I would never get married in a conventional way; I’d have the ‘Curb’ music as the union music. (Conventional Quotes)
I don’t think Jimi committed suicide in the conventional way. He just decided to exit when he wanted to. (Conventional Quotes)
With writing fiction, I’m either not courageous enough or just not suited for telling truths in a more conventional way. As an actor, I inhabit those characters as I’m writing them. (Conventional Quotes)
I think politics is a higher build in life. You know? If you diffuse under normal, common sense of a story, you make it political. If you choose a conventional way for a story, or refuse to use the conventional way, you make it political. (Conventional Quotes)
For me to want to be an actor was an improbable idea. I wasn’t beautiful or pretty in any conventional way. I wasn’t an ingenue at 22. But I was always certain of it and certain of its power. I felt the power when I went to the theater at 9, 10, 12 and 14. (Conventional Quotes)
When you are shooting in a conventional way, you put nets around yourself. It’s very hard to fall and hit the ground. You can always manipulate things to make it not embarrassing. If the scene is a little bit bad, you can polish it or even take it out. You can hide your mistakes. (Conventional Quotes)
We’re not just social animals in the conventional way that people think. It’s not just a bunch of us who hang out together. We have a very specific pattern of ties, and they have a particular shape and structure that is encoded in our genes. It means that human beings have evolved to live their lives embedded in social networks. (Conventional Quotes)
Tourism requires that you see conventional things, and that you see them in a conventional way (Conventional Quotes)
Genius feels like an over extended Helium balloon about to burst, and everyone criticizes you for not having a conventional way of coping with it. (Conventional Quotes)
Ignore the conventional wisdom. If everybody else is doing it one way, there’s a good chance you can find your niche by going in exactly the opposite direction. (Conventional Quotes)
I wonder if I would have been capable of producing anything if I worked in a more conventional way with a prewritten script, because I’m of the procrastinator class. (Conventional Quotes)
I’ve always shied away from conventional wisdom, though I know the power of it (Conventional Quotes)
I’m not a money manager, but I can tell you what the conventional wisdom is. The younger you are, the more risk you can take on. (Conventional Quotes)
All conventional wisdom has an element of truth to it, but good design requires more than an element of truth - it requires an ensemble of correct assumptions and valid calculations. (Conventional Quotes)
It is now conventional wisdom that Americans do not care why we went to war in Iraq, that it is enough that the world is better off without Saddam Hussein. (Conventional Quotes)
The most important aspect of my personality as far as determining my success goes; has been my questioning conventional wisdom, doubting experts and questioning authority. While that can be painful in your relationships with your parents and teachers, it’s enormously useful in life. (Conventional Quotes)
I try to encourage people to think for themselves, to question standard assumptions... Don’t take assumptions for granted. Begin by taking a skeptical attitude toward anything that is conventional wisdom. Make it justify itself. It usually can’t. Be willing to ask questions about what is taken for granted. Try to think things through for yourself. (Conventional Quotes)
