Famous quotes containing the words general and/or reference:

    “In former times and in less complex societies, children could find their way into the adult world by watching workers and perhaps giving them a hand; by lingering at the general store long enough to chat with, and overhear conversations of, adults...; by sharing and participating in the tasks of family and community that were necessary to survival. They were in, and of, the adult world while yet sensing themselves apart as children.”
    —Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)

    “The common behavior of mankind is the system of reference by means of which we interpret an unknown language.”
    —Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
