Famous quotes containing the words general and/or form:

    “We have seen over and over that white male historians in general have tended to dismiss any history they didn’t themselves write, on the grounds that it is unserious, unscholarly, a fad, too “political,” “merely” oral and thus unreliable.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    “Whoever denies that he possesses vanity generally possesses it in so brutal a form that he instinctively shuts his eyes in its presence, so as not to have to look down upon himself.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
