Famous quotes containing the words general and/or reference:

    “All the critics who could not make their reputations by discovering you are hoping to make them by predicting hopefully your approaching impotence, failure and general drying up of natural juices. Not a one will wish you luck or hope that you will keep on writing unless you have political affiliations in which case these will rally around and speak of you and Homer, Balzac, Zola and Link Steffens.”
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    “Meaning is what essence becomes when it is divorced from the object of reference and wedded to the word.”
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
