Famous quotes containing the words vienna and/or convention:

    “Grusinskaya: I want to be alone.
    Meierheim: Where have you been? I suppose I can cancel the Vienna contract.
    Grusinskaya: I just want to be alone.
    Meierheim: You’re going to be very much alone, my dear madam. This is the end.”
    —William A. Drake (1900–1965)

    “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 imposing 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.”
    —Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
