He left generalizing, and went into details, began with his first murder; described it, told what measures he had taken to avert suspicion; then passed to his second homicide, his third, his fourth, and so on. He had always done his murders with a bowie-knife, and he made all my hairs rise by suddenly snatching it out and showing it to me.
So shall a new song break from the heart. It is quite possible, in taking what we believe to be a broad view of life, to overlook many of the things that go to make life. Too much generalizing makes for a barren heart. The specific has a vital place in the ministry of praise.
This power has not only been denied to women; but writers have insisted that it is inconsistent, with a few exceptions, with their sexual character. Let men prove this, and I shall grant that woman only exists for man. I must, however, previously remark, that the power of generalizing ideas, to any great extent, is not very common amongst men or women.

It was the undeniable and purely mechanical action of these latter that had put him on the track; all he did now was to extend the hypothesis, impelled by his generalizing spirit; he saw the world saved anew in this perfect equilibrium, as much work given as sensation received, the balance of the world restored by unceasing labor. Here he burst into a frank laugh. "There! I have started off again.
A competent medical man, uniting a thorough knowledge of his profession with educated habits of generalizing specific facts under such laws affecting the nervous, digestive, or secretory system as are recognized by medical science, might render good service to humanity by teaching us properly to discriminate in such cases between what is uniform and what is accidental.
To avoid generalizing, I might as well give my idea the way it came to me one man's idea of how one man feels he wants to act when being lied to. I do not say in so many words, I was lied to. I do not know. A great many people every day find themselves in situations where they do not know.
