Famous quotes containing the words general and/or election:

    “A writer who writes, “I am alone” ... can be considered rather comical. It is comical for a man to recognize his solitude by addressing a reader and by using methods that prevent the individual from being alone. The word alone is just as general as the word bread. To pronounce it is to summon to oneself the presence of everything the word excludes.”
    —Maurice Blanchot (b. 1907)

    “Now that the election is over, may not all, having a common interest, re-unite in a common effort, to save our common country?”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
