General Usage

Famous quotes containing the words general and/or usage:

    He who never sacrificed a present to a future good or a personal to a general one can speak of happiness only as the blind do of colors.
    Olympia Brown (1835–1900)

    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)
