Commonplace Quotations
Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary.

Christa McAuliffe Men are seldom more commonplace than on supreme occasions. Samuel Butler There is never vulgarity in a whole truth, however commonplace. It may be unimportant or painful.
