Mason Cooley It is the function of science to discover the existence of a general reign of order in nature and to find the causes governing this order. And this refers in equal measure to the relations of man - social and political - and to the entire universe as a whole. Dmitri Mendeleev No law of nature, however general, has been established all at once; its recognition has always been preceded by many presentiments. Dmitri Mendeleev Music in general is looking for something new overall. Les Claypool For the past couple of years I've been pretty bored with music in general... just bored with it. Les Claypool I'm fairly in control and I don't like to flirt particularly. I mean, obviously if I meet someone who I think is hot, of course I'll want to flirt with him, But in general I don't use it in day-to-day life. Shirley Manson I'm not a good collaborator in general. Chelsea Quinn Yarbro So there is a personal sense of style for a given work - I don't like a general style, but every work has its own style, and I want to create a style for every work. Karlheinz Stockhausen I will make a general statement that we have not had anything like the policy of holding people in high office responsible for their acts that I think we should. William Odom Until the last great war, a general expectation of material improvement was an idea peculiar to Western man. Now war and its aftermath have made economic and social progress a political imperative in every quarter of the globe. Lester B. Pearson Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing. Robert E. Howard Right action tends to be defined in terms of general individual rights and standards that have been critically examined and agreed upon by the whole society. Lawrence Kohlberg The business of a Political Economist is neither to recommend nor to dissuade, but to state general principles, which it is fatal to neglect, but neither advisable, nor perhaps practicable, to use as the sole, or even the principal, guides in the actual conduct of affairs. Nassau William Senior What I had to say was, in general, I'm not really a fan of any one genre of any kind of film. Adam Arkin This time at Birmingham turned me into a general biologist, and ever since then I have always tried to take a biological approach to any research project that I have undertaken. Paul Nurse I am 73 years old. I was born in Jerusalem. I'm the first prime minister of Israel to be born here. I am the only former general to become a prime minister. Yitzhak Rabin The first, or theoretic branch, that which explains the nature, production, and distribution of wealth, will be found to rest on a very few general propositions, which are the result of observation, or consciousness. Nassau William Senior Despite a large body of work in films, TV, theatre and concerts, I am viewed by many as a Jewish artist. I do not resent the label, except for the fact that I disapprove of labels in general. Theodore Bikel One of the worst of errors would be the general admission of the proposition that a Government has no right to interfere for any purpose except for that of affording protection. Nassau William Senior For this reason, to study English literature without some general knowledge of the relation of the Bible to that literature would be to leave one's literary education very incomplete. Lafcadio Hearn |
