General Secondary

Famous quotes containing the words general and/or secondary:

    We have left undone those things which we ought to have done; and we have done those things which we ought not to have done.
    Morning Prayer, General Confession, Book of Common Prayer (1662)

    Readers are less and less seen as mere non-writers, the subhuman “other” or flawed derivative of the author; the lack of a pen is no longer a shameful mark of secondary status but a positively enabling space, just as within every writer can be seen to lurk, as a repressed but contaminating antithesis, a reader.
    Terry Eagleton (b. 1943)
