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)

“Man has demonstrated that he is master of everything—except his own nature.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
