About This Quote

If you were saying something that you did not believe to be true, then you might say that people are prone to generalise. This could be said if someone was saying that all men are the same. However, if you were talking about something that was not true at all, then you would not say that people are prone to generalise. If you are saying things that are not true, then they are not generalisations.
