Famous quotes containing the words general, grand and/or chapter:
“Women born at the turn of the century have been conditioned not to speak openly of their wedding nights. Of other nights in bed with other men they speak not at all. Today a woman having bedded with a great general feels free to tell us that in bed the general could not present arms. Women of my generation would have spared the great general the revelation of this failure.”
—Jessamyn West (1907–1984)
“The grand style arises when beauty wins a victory over the monstrous.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“When one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language.”
