Quotes about Tradition

Traditions cannot themselves, simply with their own powers, do what needs to be done. These earlier experiences and accomplishments were dealing with other issues, providing guidance for different worlds than the world of the early twenty-first century.

Once in every generation, if we’re lucky, a character shows up who can teach us about reality because he’s more real than ourselves. Melville called such a character a “Drummond light” after the type of light once used in theaters that was capable of providing illumination in many directions. May one of us create such a character. Better yet, let’s buck tradition and create a string of Drummond lights, each a brilliant facet of the Hope Diamond that is our new fiction. Let’s turn away, once and for all, from old Enlightenment tropes toward a new narrative of Enwritenment. Together let’s write light.

Tradition is what is in the heart and soul of your home, your country, and social environment.  Tradition evolves, and it changes regardless of what you do to maintain it.

The question of what is "traditional" always baffles me.  Who is to say whether something is traditional or not?  The question I ask is, "When does contemporary become traditional?"
