I have a photograph at home of Fred Astaire from the knees down with his feet crossed. It’s kind of inspiring because it reminds me his feet were bleeding at the end of rehearsals.

Definitely just growing up in general influenced me; Detroit happened to be where I was. I feel like the city definitely has made an impact on my life and made me who I am.

Dr. King’s general principles are universal. But the things he confronted took place in another era.
It’s baseball. You don’t think a general manager can manage? Like it’s impossible? The game is too complex? I’ve never bought into that, ‘Baseball’s just too complex.’ Really? A third of the sport is from the Dominican Republic.
Linguistics will have to recognise laws operating universally in language, and in a strictly rational manner, separating general phenomena from those restricted to one branch of languages or another.
I love animated movies in general. I like making them.
I played, but I never got a chance to see how the business worked. How the NBA offices and other teams worked. I learned that when I was an assistant General Manager for five years.
General principles… are to the facts as the root and sap of a tree are to its leaves.
I love boating – not flash, ‘noisy go fast’ nonsense, but the general relaxation of it. My wife and I love to get in our little Wellcraft and go as far out to sea as we can, hopefully beyond land. That is the best thing you can ever do. It clears your psyche.
I guess I don’t have a grandiose view of the world in general, and I never believe it when someone else has a grandiose moment.
It takes 15,000 casualties to train a major general.

I think in the ’70s that there was a general feeling of chaos, a feeling that the idea of the ’60s as ‘ideal’ was a misnomer. Nothing seemed ideal anymore. Everything seemed in-between.
Consequently many large railroad systems of heavy capitalization bid fair to run into difficulties on the first serious falling off in general business.

Everybody has a high point and a lot goes into that: timing, situation, general consciousness.
If a church offers no truth that is not available in the general culture – in, for instance, the editorials of the New York Times or, for that matter, of National Review – there is not much reason to pay it attention.

I was asked to speak at a bar association, because there’s an upswing on college applications – in general and for Latinos – because of ‘L.A. Law.’ I went to a couple of functions, and I just felt an energy: It was, you’re doing a good job, but do you realize how important it is?
People in general romanticize nature, and they make it out to be something that it isn’t because humans are so awful. And yes, we are absolutely screwing up this planet, but that is only because we have the capabilities to do so. Animals are not better than us. They are not nicer than us.
Nevertheless, as is a frequent occurrence in science, a general hypothesis was constructed from a few specific instances of a phenomenon.
I want to be able to speak with errors in my wording, errors in my grammar. When you type things into Google search, it corrects your words.

We must be part of the general staff at the inception, rather than the ambulance drivers at the bitter end.
