Text Quotes
Around 93, 94, the conventional wisdom about the Internet was that it was a toy for academics and researchers. So it was very, very underestimated for about two years (Conventional Quotes)
Jonah-John-if I had been a Sam, I would have been a Jonah still-not because I have been unlucky for others, but because somebody or something has compelled me to be certain places, at certain times, without fail. Conveyances and motives, both conventional and bizarre, have been provided. And, according to plan, at each appointed second, at each appointed place this Jonah was there (Conventional Quotes)
Conventional wisdom tells us to avoid taking unalterable action while at a low point in life. I have never been conventional (Conventional Quotes)
The problems with conventional parking meters are myriad. Nevertheless, two advanced technologies, multispace parking meters and curb-space occupancy sensors, can make it much easier for users to pay for curb parking, and for cities to adjust prices to meet the demand. (Conventional Quotes)
Conventional wisdom tells us we’ll only be happier after a divorce if the marriage itself was a war zone. (Conventional Quotes)
Conventional wisdom holds that setting a timetable for getting American troops out of Iraq would be a mistake. (Conventional Quotes)
Fish farming, even with conventional techniques, changes fish within a few generations from an animal like a wild buffalo or a wildebeest to the equivalent of a domestic cow. (Conventional Quotes)
Booksellers are tied to publishing - they need conventional publishing models to continue - but for those companies, that’s not the case. Amazon is an infrastructure company; Apple sells hardware; Google is really an advertising company. You can’t afford as a publisher to have those companies control your route to market. (Conventional Quotes)
Our memories are convenient lies we create, cribbing images from others’ experiences. We discard the personal specifics which don’t conform to the ideal conventional beauty created by art directors and cinematographers. (Conventional Quotes)
Fear is a problem with film music and films; people want to be conventional, and there’s more commercialism today. If you are not daring in your art, you’re bankrupt. (Conventional Quotes)
I’m a sworn enemy of convention. I despite the conventional in anything, even the arts. I paint canvasses on the floor and drove one art teacher out of his mind. But that’s just the way I paint best. (Conventional Quotes)
Feynman’s cryptic remark, no one is that much smarter ..., to me, implies something Feynman kept emphasizing: that the key to his achievements was not anything magical but the right attitude, the focus on nature’s reality, the focus on asking the right questions, the willingness to try (and to discard) unconventional answers, the sensitive ear for phoniness, self-deception, bombast, and conventional but unproven assumptions. (Conventional Quotes)
You don’t do background music the way a lot of more conventional films do. The music is often kind of a character in your films to the extent that sometimes you stop and watch someone perform a song. (Conventional Quotes)
To shoot a conventional film means that you are always covering yourself. You are putting nets and, in a way, letting bad decisions take over. (Conventional Quotes)
I guess they often cast me as the bad guy, because I’m not, er, conventional looking. I look sort of violent. I’m the odd one out, the outsider. (Conventional Quotes)
In conventional oil and natural gas production, you always produce a lot of formation water, and it’s crummy water. It’s real salty. It’s got heavy metals in it. It’s got bad stuff in it. (Conventional Quotes)
A conventional truth can be important - it’s essential to learn elementary mathematics, for example - but it won’t give you an edge. It’s not a secret. (Conventional Quotes)
Any time you try to apply conventional techniques to Donald Trump, you’re going to be disappointed. (Conventional Quotes)
It is the tragedy of a distinguished mind and a generous nature that have gone unappreciated in a conventional, unimaginative world. A victim of men’s incomprehension of women, a symptom of women’s mistrust of men. (Conventional Quotes)
I think, when I was younger, I believed in - and yearned for - conventional beauty. I thought there was a spectrum from ugly to beautiful, and that you could objectively plot everyone you saw along it. (Conventional Quotes)
Conventional is not for me. I like things that are uniquely Flo. I like being different. (Conventional Quotes)
Difficult times disrupt your conventional ways of thinking and push you to forge better habits of thought, performance and being. (Conventional Quotes)
Being able to provoke a different point of view to the standard current ideological or political perspective as played out in conventional newspaper or radio reportage is what a public intellectual does. But it’s not merely about being oppositional, because that’s too negative. (Conventional Quotes)
All I wanted was a little piece of life, to be married, to have children.... I was trying my damnedest to lead a conventional life, for that was how I was brought up, and it was what my husband wanted of me. But one can’t build little white picket fences to keep the nightmares out. (Conventional Quotes)
Personally, I’ve realized that the tradition I thought of as too safe, too pretty, and too conventional is the space where women have been able to gain some practical ground. The area of music where we thought the status quo was really being upset - specifically hard rock - has actually remained the most male-dominated. (Conventional Quotes)
When you’re used to being prepared to reject conventional wisdom, it leaves you open to learn more. (Conventional Quotes)
Society will pardon much to genius and special gifts; but, being in its nature conventional, it loves what is conventional, or what belongs to coming together. (Conventional Quotes)
I’m particularly interested in black swan events: unprecedented surprises that destroy the conventional wisdom about how the world works. (Conventional Quotes)
Contrary to conventional wisdom, the blue blazer’s a bit of a loose cannon. A suit decided long ago what it wanted to be, and it doesn’t want to hear your ideas, but a blue blazer only got around to half the job. So it leaves it up to you to find its bottoms. Gray slacks, blue jeans, patterns, white pants and different blue shades all work. (Conventional Quotes)
I first read ‘The Lord of the Rings’ as an adolescent. It’s a dense novel, a sprawling, complex monster of a book populated with a prolific number of characters caught up in a narrative structure that, frankly, does not lend itself to conventional storytelling. (Conventional Quotes)
