Famous quotes containing the words general and/or reference:

    “Without metaphor the handling of general concepts such as culture and civilization becomes impossible, and that of disease and disorder is the obvious one for the case in point. Is not crisis itself a concept we owe to Hippocrates? In the social and cultural domain no metaphor is more apt than the pathological one.”
    —Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)

    “Ultimately Warhol’s private moral reference was to the supreme kitsch of the Catholic church.”
    —Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
