Customary Quotations
History warns us that it is the customary fate of new truths to begin as heresies and to end as superstitions. Thomas Huxley It is the customary fate of new truths, to begin as heresies, and to end as superstitions. Thomas Huxley Manners are of such great consequence to the novelist that any kind will do. Bad manners are better than no manners at all, and because we are losing our customary manners, we are probably overly conscious of them; this seems to be a condition that produces writers. Flannery O'Connor The depth and strength of a human character are defined by its moral reserves. People reveal themselves completely only when they are thrown out of the customary conditions of their life, for only then do they have to fall back on their reserves. Leon Trotsky As the winter set in with its customary Canadian severity the real trouble of the French began. They did not suffer from the cold, but they were dying of scurvy. Harry Johnston |
