Gnu Lesser General

Famous quotes containing the words lesser and/or general:

    Imagining that I could
    A greater with a lesser pang assuage
    Or but to find if withered vein ran blood,
    I tore my body that its wine might cover
    Whatever could recall the lip of lover.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    To have in general but little feeling, seems to be the only security against feeling too much on any particular occasion.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
