Famous quotes containing the words general and/or purpose:
“The happiest conversation is that of which nothing is distinctly remembered but a general effect of pleasing impression.”

“Respect is not fear and awe; it...[is]the ability to see a person as he is, to be aware of his unique individuality. Respect, thus, implies the absence of exploitation. I want the loved person to grow and unfold for his own sake, and in his own ways, and not for the purpose of serving me.”
—Erich Fromm (20th century)
