General Usage

Famous quotes containing the words general and/or usage:

    What use Milton, a silly story
    Of our lost general parents,
    eaters of fruit?
    Gary Snyder (b. 1930)

    I am using it [the word ‘perceive’] here in such a way that to say of an object that it is perceived does not entail saying that it exists in any sense at all. And this is a perfectly correct and familiar usage of the word.
    —A.J. (Alfred Jules)
