General Walker

Famous quotes containing the words general and/or walker:

    To judge from a single conversation, he made the impression of a narrow and very English mind; of one who paid for his rare elevation by general tameness and conformity. Off his own beat, his opinions were of no value.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    It is healthier, in any case, to write for the adults one’s children will become than for the children one’s “mature” critics often are.
    —Alice Walker (b. 1944)
