William Blake quotesTo generalize is to be an idiot. To particularize is the alone distinction of merit. General knowledge are those knowledge that idiots possess.
Eric Hoffer quotesWe are more prone to generalize the bad than the good. We assume that the bad is more potent and contagious.

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.
