Famous quotes containing the words general and/or meeting:
“As to the rout that is made about people who are ruined by extravagance, it is no matter to the nation that some individuals suffer. When so much general productive exertion is the consequence of luxury, the nation does not care though there are debtors in gaol; nay, they would not care though their creditors were there too.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“They are universal places, like churches, hallowed meeting places of all mankind.”
—Iris Murdoch (b. 1919)
