Famous quotes containing the words general and/or council:

    Every writer is necessarily a critic—that is, each sentence is a skeleton accompanied by enormous activity of rejection; and each selection is governed by general principles concerning truth, force, beauty, and so on.... The critic that is in every fabulist is like the iceberg—nine-tenths of him is under water.
    Thornton Wilder (1897–1975)

    —Children and Their Primary Schools, vol. 1, ch. 3, Central Advisory Council for Education, London (1967)
