Famous quotes containing the words general and/or reference:

    “It has been the struggle between privileged men who have managed to get hold of the levers of power and the people in general with their vague and changing aspirations for equality, for justice, for some kind of gentler brotherhood and peace, which has kept that balance of forces we call our system of government in equilibrium.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    “Meaning is what essence becomes when it is divorced from the object of reference and wedded to the word.”
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
