Inhibition is no good provider for a needy man, Inhibition, which does men great harm and great good. Inhibition attaches to poverty, boldness to wealth.

Hesiod

Madness is a divine release of the soul from the yoke of custom and convention.

Plato

Existence of an excited state is not a prerequisite for the production of inhibition; inhibition can exist apart from excitation no less than, when called forth against an excitation already in progress, it can suppress or moderate it.

Charles Scott Sherrington

Sweet exists by convention, bitter by convention, color by convention; but in reality atoms and the void alone exist

Democritus

I think this was as good a Democratic Convention [ this was my 24th convention] as I have seen since the 1976 convention, which nominated Jimmy Carter.I just thought it was a spectacularly successful convention. I don't think Hillary Clinton's speech was spectacular, but I don't think she's a spectacular speaker.

Mark Shields

Art flouts convention. Convention became convention because it works.

Stewart Brand

Democritus sometimes does away with what appears to the senses, and says that none of these appears according to truth but only according to opinion: the truth in real things is that there are atoms and void. 'By convention sweet', he says, 'by convention bitter, by convention hot, by convention cold, by convention colour: but in reality atoms and void.'

Sextus Empiricus

Classic mountaineering grows out of a traditional romantic imagination. Its heart is the feeling, its path is blood, sweat and tears, and its restriction is God.

Wojciech Kurtyka

New forms of media - first movies, then television, talk radio and now the Internet - tend to challenge traditional codes of conduct. They flout convention, shake up the status quo and sometimes provoke outrage.

Willow Bay

The main purpose of my work is to provoke people into using their imagination and make their surroundings more exciting.

Verner Panton

You have to have an unlimited imagination, an unlimited restraint on your inhibition when you're working. You have to even dare to fail, even in a scene, whatever it is.

Viola Davis

The arts stimulate imagination. They provoke thought. And then, having done that, all sorts of other things happen.

Melvyn Bragg

Give us a genuine Christianity that may provoke persecution, but will not provoke contempt.

A. C. Dixon

By convention sweet is sweet, by convention bitter is bitter, by convention hot is hot, by convention cold is cold, by convention color is color. But in reality there are atoms and the void. That is, the objects of sense are supposed to be real and it is customary to regard them as such, but in truth they are not. Only the atoms and the void are real.

Democritus

If you want to provoke, you should provoke someone who is stronger than you, otherwise you are misusing your power.
