It is reckless to make broad generalizations about any group of people.
Roger Ebert
Image
There in wine is found the great generalization: all life is fermentation.
Richard P. Feynman
Image
I only have a Bachelor's Degree but I've had professors who have instilled this kind of academic rigor in me where I don't make any generalizations or closed statements. There always has to be room for interpretation.
Ayshay
Image
There is a constant rush to judgment in Foucault. He is filled with specious generalizations, false categories, distortions, fudging, pretenses to knowledge in areas where he was ignorant. He had no ability whatsoever to distinguish among historical sources, where he makes terrible blunders.
Camille Paglia
Image
Any general statement is like a check drawn on a bank. Its value depends on what is there to meet it.
Ezra Pound
Image
The museum spreads its surfaces everywhere, and becomes an untitled collection of generalizations that mobilize the eye.
Robert Smithson
Image
People who like quotes love meaningless generalizations
Graham Greene
Image
If I can make a generalization, men get into politics because, from the time they're little boys, they've been wanting to be President.
Barbara Boxer
Image
No generalization is wholly true—not even this one.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
Image
Footballers do get a hard time, and there is a lot of generalization going on. When you get to meet players and know them as lads, it's always a bit different.
Frank Lampard
Image
Even the recognition of an individual whom we see every day is only possible as the result of an abstract idea of him formed by generalization from his appearances in the past.
James G. Frazer
Image
I think we all ought to be careful about too much generalization on this issue, even as I confess to painting with a pretty broad brush myself!
John C. Bogle
Image
I do think that there are - again, gross generalization - more women than men that can tolerate that or that are OK with that.
Maryann Brandon
Image
There is nothing in the education of the average non-scientific human being to discourage him from the habit of generalizing from little or no evidence, and worse still and far more important, nothing to discourage him from the habit of starting with a generalization and ending up with the individual, instead of the other way round.
Gwethalyn Graham
Image
All generalizations, with the possible exception of this one, are false.
Kurt Gödel
Image
The stumbling way in which even the ablest of the scientists in every generation have had to fight through thickets of erroneous observations, misleading generalizations, inadequate formulation, and unconscious prejudice is rarely appreciated by those who obtain their scientific knowledge from textbooks.
James Bryant Conant
Image
Most people traffic in abstractions and generalizations because they are grossly incompetent at culturing their intuition or powers of evidency, refining it to grasp the Thisness (Haecceitas) of what is before them. Thinking is like a Stradivarius that has more potential variations in how it is played than any human can finitely perform or capture.
Kenny Smith
Image
Crude classifications and false generalizations are the curse of the organized life.
H. G. Wells
Image
Generalization is flawed thinking only when applied to individuals. It is the most accurate way to describe the mass, the Wad. And yours is a democracy, a dictatorship of the Wad.
Trevanian
Image
In your 20s - and these are generalizations of course - I feel like I didn't care about as many things or as many people, or even myself, as much. There's more recklessness and more ruthlessness you're not as considerate of how things land with other people I think.
Naomi Watts
Image
The most obvious purpose of college education is to help students acquire information and knowledge by acquainting them with facts, theories, generalizations, principles, and the like. This purpose scarcely requires justification.
Derek Bok
Image
To generalize on women is dangerous. To specialize in them is infinitely worse.
Rudolph Valentino
Image
At each stage...entirely new laws, concepts and generalizations are necessary, requiring inspiration and creativity to just as great a degree as in the previous one.
Poul Anderson
Image
Without doubt, if we are to go back to that ultimate, integral experience, unwarped by the sophistications of theory, that experience whose elucidation is the final aim of philosophy, the flux of things is one ultimate generalization around which we must weave our philosophical system.
Alfred North Whitehead
