General Master

Famous quotes containing the words general and/or master:

“The general interest of the masses might take the place of the insight of genius if it were allowed freedom of action.”
—Denis Diderot (1713–1784)

“My dwelling was small, and I could hardly entertain an echo in it; but it seemed larger for being a single apartment and remote from neighbors. All the attractions of a house were concentrated in one room; it was kitchen, chamber, parlor, and keeping-room; and whatever satisfaction parent or child, master or servant, derive from living in a house, I enjoyed it all.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
