“It is ever the lot of children to accept their circumstances as universal, and their particularities as general.”

“The fool generalizes the particular; the nerd particularizes the general; some do both; and the wise does neither”

“Generally speaking, beliefs arise from an event or character that may or may not be authentic, and rapidly evolve into social movements that are conditioned and shaped by the political, economic and societal circumstances of the group that accepts them.”

“Subjects’ unwillingness to deduce the particular from the general was matched only by their willingness to infer the general from the particular.”

“Morality in the general is well enough known by men, but the particular refinements of virtue are unknown by most persons; thus the majority of parents, without knowing it and without intending it, give very bad examples to their children.”

“what is fiction in particular is truth in general.”
