I Am Very Careful To Be Shallow And Conventional

“As a rule, I am very careful to be shallow and conventional where depth and originality are wasted.” – Lucy Montgomery

I love this quote, it’s such a good lesson about when to be what. I usually think about the negative aspects of being shallow and conventional and I forget that being deep and original, while not negative, can be wasted time. The biblical injunction ‘do not throw your pearls before swine’ comes to mind.
