I hate it when people don't recognize the work of women as being universal or having any import to the world at large as opposed to men's work which is generally tends to be seen as more universal - men's writing about their own experience tends to be put in a broader context.

So when you do your family tree and Margaret Cho does hers and... Wanda Sykes and John Legend... we're adding to the database that scholars can then draw from to generalize about the complexity of the American experience. And that's the contribution that family trees make to broader scholarship.

Experience demands that man is the only animal which devours his own kind for I can apply no milder term to the general prey of the rich on the poor.

It is better that some should be unhappy rather than that none should be happy which would be the case in a general state of equality.

Cities all over the world are getting bigger as more and more people move from rural to urban sites but that has created enormous problems with respect to environmental pollution and the general quality of life.

Why are ecologists and environmentalists so feared and hated? This is because in part what they have to say is new to the general public and the new is always alarming.

The complaint of bad pay and difficulty in obtaining it is almost generally reiterated through every department of education.

If there is something I would like to do as President of the General Assembly it is to place more emphasis on the issue of education which enables a better life for women.

I do think that a general liberal arts education is very important particularly in an uncertain changing world.

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.

The education that prepared me was my general education classes which I tried to avoid when I was a stupid undergraduate but which gave me the foundation of general knowledge that makes a career as a writer possible.

If we had in this room a hundred teachers good teachers from good schools and asked them to define the word education there would be very little general agreement.

The benefits of education and of useful knowledge generally diffused through a community are essential to the preservation of a free government.

As women slowly gain power their values and priorities are reshaping the agenda. A multitude of studies show that when women control the family funds they generally spend more on health nutrition and education - and less on alcohol and cigarettes.

To penetrate and dissipate these clouds of darkness the general mind must be strengthened by education.

Perhaps all writers walk such a line. In general - as we all do in our dreams - I believe I put something of myself into all the characters in my novels male as well as female.

A vegan diet takes care of most of what we need to do. But you'll also want to minimize the use of oils generally because while olive oil and other vegetable oils are better for your heart than chicken fat they are as fattening as animal fats.

We have no general conceptual thrust for the band other than trying to make music that keeps our interest. When things are novel they are probably things we have discovered by accident or investigation rather than by design.

I've generally got a good eye for design and proportion.

Just as predatory animals follow a similar general design and behave in similar ways so organizations especially those in competition with one another must follow certain design principles if they are to succeed and prevail.

The gays like 'Project Runway' because it's a fashion and the gays are into fashion and into design. It's a creative industry and most of the gays are pretty creative in general. That's just like the culture. We're not all into politics necessarily. We're more into the creative environment. I also think Heidi is a big draw. The boys love Heidi and think she's so fabulous. I just think it's a glitzy fun show and there are also always lots of gay boys on it and you know that's fun.

Gaming in general is a male thing. It isn't that gaming is designed to exclude women. Everybody who's tried to design a game to interest a large female audience has failed. And I think that has to do with the different thinking processes of men and women.

I put for the general inclination of all mankind a perpetual and restless desire of power after power that ceaseth only in death.

Deep down no one really believes they have a right to live. But this death sentence generally stays tucked away hidden beneath the difficulty of living. If that difficulty is removed from time to time death is suddenly there unintelligibly.
