Famous quotes containing the words general and/or greene:

    I never saw any people who appeared to live so much without amusement as the Cincinnatians.... Were it not for the churches,... I think there might be a general bonfire of best bonnets, for I never could discover any other use for them.
    Frances Trollope (1780–1863)

    The world is not black and white. More like black and grey.
    —Graham Greene (1904–1991)
