Famous quotes containing the words general and/or reference:

    “There is a mortifying experience in particular, which does not fail to wreak itself also in the general history; I mean “the foolish face of praise,” the forced smile which we put on in company where we do not feel at ease, in answer to conversation which does not interest us. The muscles, not spontaneously moved but moved, by a low usurping wilfulness, grow tight about the outline of the face, with the most disagreeable sensation.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The common behavior of mankind is the system of reference by means of which we interpret an unknown language.”
    —Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
