Famous quotes containing the words general and/or reference:
“It was the words descended into Hades
That seemed too pagan to our liberal youth.
You know they suffered from a general onslaught.
And well, if they werent true why keep right on
Saying them like the heathen? We could drop them.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
“If we define a sign as an exact reference, it must include symbol because a symbol is an exact reference too. The difference seems to be that a sign is an exact reference to something definite and a symbol an exact reference to something indefinite.”
—William York Tindall (19031981)
