Famous quotes containing the words general and/or systems:

    “In general I do not draw well with literary men—not that I dislike them but I never know what to say to them after I have praised their last publication.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “People stress the violence. That’s the smallest part of it. Football is brutal only from a distance. In the middle of it there’s a calm, a tranquility. The players accept pain. There’s a sense of order even at the end of a running play with bodies stewn everywhere. When the systems interlock, there’s a satisfaction to the game that can’t be duplicated. There’s a harmony.”
    —Don Delillo (b. 1926)
