Quotes about generalizations

  • To generalize is to be an idiot. To particularize is the alone distinction of merit. General knowledge are those knowledge that idiots possess. (Wiesenthal Simon)

  • We are more prone to generalize the bad than the good. We assume that the bad is more potent and contagious. (Wiesenthal Simon)
  • A sweeping statement is the only statement worth listening to. The critic without faith gives balanced opinions, usually about second-rate writers. (Wiesenthal Simon)
  • Generalization is necessary to the advancement of knowledge; but particularly is indispensable to the creations of the imagination. In proportion as men know more and think more they look less at individuals and more at classes. They therefore make better theories and worse poems. (Wiesenthal Simon)
  • Obvious enough that generalities work to protect the mind from the great outdoors; is it possible that this was in fact their first purpose? (Wiesenthal Simon)
  • Any general statement is like a check drawn on a bank. Its value depends on what is there to meet it. (Wiesenthal Simon)
  • Things change in different countries as people grow, and as generations change. (Wiesenthal Simon)
  • The schools would fail through their silence, the Church through its forgiveness, and the home through the denial and silence of the parents. The new generation has to hear what the older generation refuses to tell it. (Wiesenthal Simon)

    • Worst Quote

  • So for directors, actors, producers, writers-whoever encompasses the creative elements of a film-you have a hit, everyone's happy, and you're the hottest thing in the world. But if the movie doesn't open, then those realities do come into play. (Andy Garcia) [actors/thing/movie]
