General Wheeler

Famous quotes containing the words general and/or wheeler:

    We do not need to minimize the poverty of the ghetto or the suffering inflicted by whites on blacks in order to see that the increasingly dangerous and unpredictable conditions of middle- class life have given rise to similar strategies for survival. Indeed the attraction of black culture for disaffected whites suggests that black culture now speaks to a general condition.
    Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)

    Feast, and your halls are crowded;
    Fast, and the world goes by.
    —Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1855–1919)
