Transcended

Although critics have sometimes dismissed genre fiction as escapist, poorly written and full of clichés, some writers — such as Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, Mary Shelley and Edgar Allan Poe — have transcended the genres of science fiction or of horror to craft classic works of literature.

Touted as the one of the most important painters of the 20th century, Spanish artist Salvador Dali transcended geographic borders with his artwork. In fact, one of the world's greatest Dali collections is found in the United States, in Saint Petersburg, in the southeast state of Florida.

"I am someone who has transcended societal norms." "That doesn't happen."
