Famous quotes containing the words general and/or reference:

    “You don’t want a general houseworker, do you? Or a traveling companion, quiet, refined, speaks fluent French entirely in the present tense? Or an assistant billiard-maker? Or a private librarian? Or a lady car-washer? Because if you do, I should appreciate your giving me a trial at the job. Any minute now, I am going to become one of the Great Unemployed. I am about to leave literature flat on its face. I don’t want to review books any more. It cuts in too much on my reading.”
    —Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)

    “If Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favourable reference to the devil in the House of Commons.”
    —Winston Churchill (1874–1965)
