Famous quotes containing the words general and/or reference:
“We have seen over and over that white male historians in general have tended to dismiss any history they didnt themselves write, on the grounds that it is unserious, unscholarly, a fad, too political, merely oral and thus unreliable.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“In sum, all actions and habits are to be esteemed good or evil by their causes and usefulness in reference to the commonwealth, and not by their mediocrity, nor by their being commended. For several men praise several customs, and, contrarily, what one calls vice, another calls virtue, as their present affections lead them.”
—Thomas Hobbes (15791688)
