Famous quotes containing the words generalized, central and/or series:
“One is conscious of no brave and noble earnestness in it, of no generalized passion for intellectual and spiritual adventure, of no organized determination to think things out. What is there is a highly self-conscious and insipid correctness, a bloodless respectability submergence of matter in manner—in brief, what is there is the feeble, uninspiring quality of German painting and English music.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“It’s easy to forget how central the French people are in everything we mean when we say Europe.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“Personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
