Famous quotes containing the words general and/or theory:

    “Every general increase of freedom is accompanied by some degeneracy, attributable to the same causes as the freedom.”
    —Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)

    “... liberal intellectuals ... tend to have a classical theory of politics, in which the state has a monopoly of power; hoping that those in positions of authority may prove to be enlightened men, wielding power justly, they are natural, if cautious, allies of the “establishment.””
