General Master

Famous quotes containing the words general and/or master:

“We do not need to minimize the poverty of the ghetto or the suffering inflicted by whites on blacks in order to see that the increasingly dangerous and unpredictable conditions of middle- class life have given rise to similar strategies for survival. Indeed the attraction of black culture for disaffected whites suggests that black culture now speaks to a general condition.”
—Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)

“I cringe when critics say I’m a master of the popular novel. What’s an unpopular novel?”
—Irwin Shaw (b. 1913)
