There will be no greater burden on our generation than to organize the forces of liberty in our time in order to make our quest ofa new freedom for America. ~ Woodrow Wilson
Our Generation quotes by Woodrow Wilson
There is a lot of sixties-bashing going on these days that I don't agree with at all. I feel that extremely important ideals were brought to the forefront of the collective consciousness at that time. Granted, drug use was so pervasive that our generation did not as a group have the capacity to manifest our ideals to any great extent. But many of the people who were young in the sixties and who were most touched by that collective ethos are still touched. ~ Marianne Williamson
Our Generation quotes by Marianne Williamson
I'm sick and tired of our generation being called the TV generation. What do you expect? We watched Lee Harvey Oswald get his brains blown out all over. How could we change the channel after that? ~ Denis Leary
Our Generation quotes by Denis Leary
I tell this joke about Barack Obama is the best communicator of our generation: The guy reads a teleprompter better than any Hollywood actor. John McCain, his opponent - Stevie Wonder reads a teleprompter better than John McCain. ~ Frank Luntz
Our Generation quotes by Frank Luntz
Our generation is wonderful generation, full of wonder. It's very hard to find an example of it in all our history. Composed of contradictions - light and darkness mixed. ~ Abraham Isaac Kook
Our Generation quotes by Abraham Isaac Kook
Our generation has become well versed in Christian terminology but is remiss in the actual practice of Christ's principles and teachings. Hence, our greatest need today is not more Christianity but more true Christians. ~ Billy Graham
Our Generation quotes by Billy Graham
For us, terrorism remains the great evil of our time, and the war against this evil, our generation's great cause ... There is no middle way for Americans: it is victory or holocaust. ~ Richard Perle
Our Generation quotes by Richard Perle
There's Dick Van Dyke and John Ritter, the two greatest physical comics of our generation. ~ Suzanne Somers
Our Generation quotes by Suzanne Somers
Freaky kids like us can't ever be normal- Tyler says smugly- Our generation is some new kind of "evolutionary development", my shrink says- "Normal" is just "average", not cool. My latest diagnosis is "A.P.M", Acute Premature Melancholia", usually an affliction of late middle age, they think is genetic since Ty Senoir has had it all his life, too.
You look if you might be A.P.M, too, Sky: that kind of pissed-off mopey look in your face like you swallowed something really gross and can't spit it out. ~ Joyce Carol Oates
Our Generation quotes by Joyce Carol Oates
I think the martial arts tradition has a big influence on our generation - we all read these novels when we were very young. ~ Wong Kar-Wai
Our Generation quotes by Wong Kar-Wai
Abby Suso is singlehandedly reclaiming eye crinkles for our generation. ~ Becky Albertalli
Our Generation quotes by Becky Albertalli
Not every believer has the missionary gift, but every Christian is called to some kind of involvement in missions. We are called to advance the gospel in some way and to participate in the fulfilling of God's purposes in our generation ~ David Shibley
Our Generation quotes by David Shibley
I honestly think that with our generation - Alex Wang, Prabal Gurung, Jason Wu, Christian Cota, Robert Geller - there's a different expectation of what our behavior should be. People expect designers to be good businesspeople and PR people, and I don't think partying is a part of that persona the way it used to be. ~ Joseph Altuzarra
Our Generation quotes by Joseph Altuzarra
Undefined Christianity is not a problem in our generation. It is defined Christianity that brings the rub. ~ Alistair Begg
Our Generation quotes by Alistair Begg
Doubtless, we are as slow to conceive of Paradise as of Heaven, of a perfect natural as of a perfect spiritual world. We see how past ages have loitered and erred. "Is perhaps our generation free from irrationality and error? Have we perhaps reached now the summit of human wisdom, and need no more to look out for mental or physical improvement?" Undoubtedly, we are never so visionary as to be prepared for what the next hour may bring forth. ~ Henry David Thoreau
Our Generation quotes by Henry David Thoreau
Our generation may stand at a crucial breakpoint in history, for we in the presently affluent nations may be the last who can afford to open up the high frontier. What we do during the next ten or twenty years may determine whether future generations will live in a humane and rewarding society, or whether they will spend their lives in desperate contention for the dwindling sustenance afforded by our limited terrestrial resources. ~ Philip K. Chapman
Our Generation quotes by Philip K. Chapman
Food became for me a way of becoming self-sufficient with my hands, to regain manual literacy, which I think has been lost on our generation and certainly younger generations. Very few people can actually make things with their hands and do things with their hands. ~ Timothy Ferriss
Our Generation quotes by Timothy Ferriss
In the cruel and terrible time in which our generation has been condemned to live on this earth, we must never make peace with evil. We must never become indifferent to others or undemanding of ourselves. ~ Vasily Grossman
Our Generation quotes by Vasily Grossman
Because just the day before, I had apparently told The Artist of our Generation to color inside the effing lines. ~ Amber L. Johnson
Our Generation quotes by Amber L. Johnson
Plagiarism, is like a fatal plague which has engulfed our generation and culminated impersonate clones. sad but true.. a caricature has replaced Mona Lisa. ~ Himmilicious
Our Generation quotes by Himmilicious
How can you squander even one more day not taking advantage of the greatest shifts of our generation? How dare you settle for less when the world has made it so easy for you to be remarkable?
- Seth Godin, sethgodin.com ~ Seth Godin
Our Generation quotes by Seth Godin
We must repudiate the settling of native artisans in some wilderness,[13] for this is the day to call for the greatest synthesis of the century: To incorporate into a single trumpet blast the voices of the dead centuries, to give regency to the scientific chorus of modernity, to bring to life the developments affected by our generation, to instill in them a demonic fire, and to thaw-out the frozen engine of history. ~ Anonymous
Our Generation quotes by Anonymous
Chick Lit uses humor to reflect life back to us. It's a very comforting genre, and it's the first time our generation has had a voice. It's a very important genre for all of those reasons. ~ Marian Keyes
Our Generation quotes by Marian Keyes
There is a ripeness of time for death,
regarding others as well as ourselves, when it is reasonable we should drop off, and make room for
another growth. When we have lived our generation out, we should not wish to encroach on another. ~ Thomas Jefferson
Our Generation quotes by Thomas Jefferson
I think our generation has been called to apathy just as our grandparents were called to defeat fascism and the baby boomers were called to get divorced and fuck around for most of their adult lives before bankrupting the entire goddamn country when they retire. But we have the chance to do something really special here. Imagine a world where people didn't care enough to go to war over anything. Where some guy gets up in the morning and says, "I know God wants me to kill the infidels and keep gay people from marrying each other, but I just don't give a shit. I'm going back to bed." It would be paradise on earth. This is our mission. I think we can make it happen, but I really don't care either way. And that's called hope. ~ Paul Neilan
Our Generation quotes by Paul Neilan
The critical question for our generation - and for every generation
is this: If you could have heaven, with no sickness, and with all the
friends you ever had on earth, and all the food you ever liked, and
all the leisure activities you ever enjoyed, and all the natural beauties
you ever saw, all the physical pleasures you ever tasted, and no
human conflict or any natural disasters, could you be satisfied with
heaven, if Christ were not there? ~ John Piper
Our Generation quotes by John Piper
I am a huge fan of Alan Furst. Furst is the best in the business
the most talented espionage novelist of our generation. ~ Vince Flynn
Our Generation quotes by Vince Flynn
We don't have a prayer of defeating the Red Threat of our generation without a long boom of almost unprecedented duration. ~ Mitch Daniels
Our Generation quotes by Mitch Daniels
Our generation has the ability and the responsibility to make our ever-more connected world a more hopeful, stable and peaceful place. ~ Natalie Portman
Our Generation quotes by Natalie Portman
The challenge of our generation, whether it's young lawyers, young investment bankers, is to make capitalism work for people not just around the corner, but for people all around the world. ~ Kabir Sehgal
Our Generation quotes by Kabir Sehgal
I keep saying that, if Samuel L. Jackson and Bette Davis could have a baby, it would be Taraji P. Henson. To me, she's one of the greatest character actors of our generation, let alone leading ladies. She's just phenomenal in everything she does. ~ Jussie Smollett
Our Generation quotes by Jussie Smollett
It has been said that a lot of women of our generation "grew up to be the men they always wanted to marry ~ Merle Shain
Our Generation quotes by Merle Shain
I just am a clean air freak. I grew up in the woods. I worked in China for a bit and was exposed to all the resources being used and the pollution and felt strongly that for our generation, the biggest economic and societal problem is energy. ~ Lynn Jurich
Our Generation quotes by Lynn Jurich
The current generation of world leaders
our generation
is also being called to face significant challenges concerning peace, collective security and the environment. We have been unable to solve old disputes and to prevent new threats. The use of force is incapable of eliminating the underlying causes of conflict. ~ Dilma Rousseff
Our Generation quotes by Dilma Rousseff
Peace is a precious and a desirable thing. Our generation, bloodied in wars, certainly deserves peace. But peace, like almost all things of this world, has its price, a high but a measurable one. We in Poland do not know the concept of peace at any price. There is only one thing in the lives of men, nations and countries that is without price. That thing is honor. ~ Jozef Beck
Our Generation quotes by Jozef Beck
I find it amusing that those who helped to authorize and engineer the biggest foreign policy disaster in our generation are now criticizing me for making sure that we are on the right battlefield and not the wrong battlefield in the war against terrorism. ~ Barack Obama
Our Generation quotes by Barack Obama
The greatest sin of our generation is that we have forgotten who we are, and that is what has cost us most. We cry out in disbelief and wonder where our sense of unity has gone. ~ Jordan Ervin
Our Generation quotes by Jordan Ervin
Our generation has inherited an incredibly beautiful world from our parents and they from their parents. It is in our hands whether our children and their children inherit the same world. We must not be the generation responsible for irreversibly damaging the environment. ~ Richard Branson
Our Generation quotes by Richard Branson
In regard to the past, where contemplation is not obscured by desire and the need for action, we see, more clearly than in the lives about us, the value for good and evil, of the aims men have pursued and the means they have adopted. It is good, from time to time, to view the present as already past, and to examine what elements it contains that will add to the world's store of permanent possessions, that will live and give life when we and all our generation have perished. ~ Bertrand Russell
Our Generation quotes by Bertrand Russell
I believe, if done correctly, eliminating Saddam and liberating Iraq could be the 'Normandy Invasion' or 'fall of the Berlin Wall' of our generation ... the Iraqi people are eager to be rid of Saddam, and there is equally encouraging evidence that republican principles could thrive there. ~ Pete Hegseth
Our Generation quotes by Pete Hegseth
For our generation walks as in Hades, without the divine. ~ Friedrich Holderlin
Our Generation quotes by Friedrich Holderlin
Of all the poetry written in our generation, Frost's is most likely to stand the test of time ~ Lewis Gannett
Our Generation quotes by Lewis Gannett
My daddy thought - no, he expected - that my brothers and I and our generation would make the world a better place. He was correct in his belief because he had lived in an America of continual social progress, depression followed by prosperity, segregation by integration, and so on. ~ Wynton Marsalis
Our Generation quotes by Wynton Marsalis
We will never reach the world for Christ in our generation if we simply follow in the groove worn for us by our predecessors. ~ Melvin L. Hodges
Our Generation quotes by Melvin L. Hodges
It is unfortunately true that our generation and that of your parents have left you with a big mess that will now be yours to clean up: wars, budget challenges, pollution, global warming, battles of health care, natural disasters. They're all there for you. We're willing those to you. Are you ready? ~ John Morgridge
Our Generation quotes by John Morgridge
Since Sept. 11, many of the wars of our generation are in the Muslim world. So as a woman, I have access to 50 percent of the population that my male colleagues don't. ~ Lynsey Addario
Our Generation quotes by Lynsey Addario
While we thank God for them and their efforts, we must also know that our generation of believers have the responsibility to take the gospel a bit further ~ Sunday Adelaja
Our Generation quotes by Sunday Adelaja
This area is off limits to our kind," Grom says. "Humans have seen us here, and their stories will spread to more humans. Some will believe them, some will not. Those that do might come to investigate. We will not give them anything to find here."
His command is met with solemn nods. "You must also realize," he continues, "that it is only a matter of time now before this happens again. Maybe not in our generation, maybe not in the next. But the time is coming when humans will find us. We all must think about what this means for us individually, but most importantly, for our kind. Go home now to your families. Tell them what has happened. Talk with them about what might. ~ Anna Banks
Our Generation quotes by Anna Banks
I ache for the body of Christ in our generation to learn how to tarry before God and expectantly wait for Him to speak. I'm desperate to learn it for myself. If we do, what revelation we would receive! We cannot have a drive-thru relationship with God and expect to behold His glory. Like the children of Israel, much of the body of Christ still stands back and watches those they consider truly anointed draw near to God's glory. Dear One, you are anointed! Never settle for a secondhand relationship. Never be satisfied with distant glory. ~ Beth Moore
Our Generation quotes by Beth Moore
In our generation, everybody told us that it's really important and it's nice to be able to speak a lot of languages. It's an art, too. It really impresses me, people who speak, like, seven languages. I admire them so much, so I began with English, and then Spanish and maybe Portuguese. ~ Adele Exarchopoulos
Our Generation quotes by Adele Exarchopoulos
I feel like our generation is just so obsessed with the idea of perfection and we don't need to be. ~ Connor Franta
Our Generation quotes by Connor Franta
I was doing a play out in L.A. 20-some-odd years ago called 'Goose and Tomtom' by David Rabe, and somebody saw it and the next thing I know I'm doing the table read of the film version of 'Glengarry Glen Ross' with Al Pacino and Jack Lemmon - one of the great films of our generation. ~ Richard Schiff
Our Generation quotes by Richard Schiff
Serious harm, I am afraid, has been wrought to our generation by fostering the idea that they would live secure in a permanent order of things. ~ Helen Keller
Our Generation quotes by Helen Keller
I'm in agreement with David Miliband when he says our generation of Labour politicians are not willing to hand over the direction of the country without a serious electoral fight. ~ Douglas Alexander
Our Generation quotes by Douglas Alexander
Of course, I'm drawn to a place like Iraq because It's the biggest story of our generation. ~ Joe Sacco
Our Generation quotes by Joe Sacco
We have lived for too long with the arts as the pretty bit around the edge with the reality as a non-artistic thing in the middle. But the world is charged with the grandeur of God. Why should we not celebrate and rejoice in that? And the answer sometimes is because the world is also a messy and nasty and horrible place. And, of course, some artists make a living out of representing the world as a very ugly and wicked and horrible place. And our culture has slid in both directions so that we have got sentimental art on the one hand and brutalist art in the other. And if you want to find sentimental art then, tragically, the church is often a good place to look, as people when they want to paint religious pictures screen out the nasty bits. But genuine art, I believe, takes seriously the fact that the world is full of the glory of God, and that it will be full as the waters cover the sea, and, at present (Rom 8), it is groaning in travail. Genuine art responds to that triple awareness: of what is true (the beauty that is there), of what will be true (the ultimate beauty), and of the pain of the present, and holds them together as the psalms do, and asks why and what and where are we. You can do that in music, and you can do that in painting. And our generation needs us to do that not simply to decorate the gospel but to announce the gospel. ~ N.T. Wright
Our Generation quotes by N.T. Wright
Our [generation] people have the worst diet of anybody. I'm ready to put a farmer on my payroll. We've got to get back to growing our own food. You are what you eat! ~ Prince
Our Generation quotes by Prince
Our challenge, our generation's unique challenge, is learning to live peacefully and sustainably in an extraordinarily crowded world. Our planet is crowded to an unprecendented degree. It is bursting at the seams. It's bursting at the seams in human terms, in economic terms, and in ecological terms ~ Jeffrey Sachs
Our Generation quotes by Jeffrey Sachs
[T]he presence of feminism in our lives is taken for granted. For our generation, feminism is like fluoride. We scarcely notice we have it - it's simply in the water. ~ Amy Richards
Our Generation quotes by Amy Richards
German militarism and Nazism have devastated twice in our generation the lands of German neighbors. ~ James F. Byrnes
Our Generation quotes by James F. Byrnes
Let it be said ... that it was our generation that truly made a difference and that it was our guiding lights of love, peace and kindness that helped us. ~ Timothy Pina
Our Generation quotes by Timothy Pina
I am Warhol. I am the No. 1 most impactful artist of our generation. I am Shakespeare in the flesh. ~ Kanye West
Our Generation quotes by Kanye West
I saw the Internet as being something which would allow power mongers to control us, and that we would willingly go to that if it promised us salvation - if it promised to show us who we were and let us find ourselves as we had, uniquely in our generation, through rock music. ~ Pete Townshend
Our Generation quotes by Pete Townshend
Our generation has taken to the cosmetic use of pesticides and I think, perhaps unwittingly, not fully understanding the dangers it represents to ourselves and, most importantly, to our children. ~ Dalton McGuinty
Our Generation quotes by Dalton McGuinty
Excessive competitiveness, anxiety, hostility, suspiciousness, all originate in the nursery years. That is why, if we want a world of peace and not violence, love and not hate, cooperation and not murder, justice and not selfishness, we have to learn how to make childhood more happy. No nobler task could be pursued by our generation. ~ Joshua L. Liebman
Our Generation quotes by Joshua L. Liebman
Through the release of atomic energy, our generation has brought into the world the most revolutionary force since prehistoric man's discovery of fire. This basic force of the universe cannot be fitted into the outmoded concept of narrow nationalisms. ~ Albert Einstein
Our Generation quotes by Albert Einstein
I wonder if it's suffering."
"What, our generation?"
"The baby! ~ Kenzaburo Oe
Our Generation quotes by Kenzaburo Oe
The youth. The youth of Africa. The youth of this world. Are we harnessing the potential of the youth enough? Are the young ones… giving off their best to the continent, the nation, the universe that is giving us so much? Why do we think we can only contribute something after age forty? Are we not causing wealth loss to our generation? ~ Nana Awere Damoah
Our Generation quotes by Nana Awere Damoah
When I started Rolling Stone in November 1967, the magazine's initial chapter was to cover rock & roll music with intelligence and respect. Even then, we knew that the fervor sweeping our generation encompassed more than just music. ~ Jann Wenner
Our Generation quotes by Jann Wenner
I had heard so much negative talk about our generation, that we're slackers and young fogies, that I knew wasn't true of the people I know. ~ Eric Liu
Our Generation quotes by Eric Liu
We were all on this ship in the sixties, our generation, a ship going to discover the New World. And the Beatles were in the crow's nest of that ship. ~ John Lennon
Our Generation quotes by John Lennon
In terms of wilderness preservation, Alaska is the last frontier. This time, given one great final chance, let us strive to do it right. Not in our generation, nor ever again, will we have a land and wildlife opportunity approaching the scope and importance of this one. ~ Mo Udall
Our Generation quotes by Mo Udall
Especially for people of our generation, who really celebrated certain attitudes - the outsider, the loner - it can have a real impact on the art when they realize, I have friends, I'm married, or I have kids. That's certainly happened to me. ~ Adrian Tomine
Our Generation quotes by Adrian Tomine
This generation, our generation of people who benefited, must always be the pioneers who look to younger people and say mediocrity is not accommodated in what we do. ~ Trevor Manuel
Our Generation quotes by Trevor Manuel
Seduction like attraction, is spoken about in a more positive manner in our generation. Forgetting the fact that these attributes involve bending the will of another person in order to make our ends meet our means. ~ Mwanandeke Kindembo
Our Generation quotes by Mwanandeke Kindembo
The greatest discovery of our generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind. As you think, so shall you be. ~ William James
Our Generation quotes by William James
Our generation will not have regretted both perverse crimes, and the eerie silence of the kind ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Our Generation quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
Our generation delimited the definition & horizon of Love in a box that mainly refers to love between a boy & a girl. Love has a broader & profound meaning beyond this box. Surely, the highest state of love is Love of God, a love between creations & the Creator. ~ Abu Sufyan Ibn Harb
Our Generation quotes by Abu Sufyan Ibn Harb
It was not only for Americans that he was concerned, or primarily the older generation of any land. The thought that disturbed him the most, and that made the prospect of war much more fearful than it would otherwise have been, was the specter of the death of the children of this country and all the world - the young people who had no role, who had no say, who knew nothing even of the confrontation, but whose lives would be snuffed out like everyone else's. They would never have a chance to make a decision, to vote in an election, to run for office, to lead a revolution, to determine their own destinies. Our generation had. But the great tragedy was that, if we erred, we erred not only for ourselves, our futures, our hopes, and our country, but for the lives, futures, hopes, and countries of those who had never been given an opportunity to play a role, to vote aye or nay, to make themselves felt. ~ Robert F. Kennedy
Our Generation quotes by Robert F. Kennedy
Field of Dreams is probably our generation's It's A Wonderful Life. ~ Kevin Costner
Our Generation quotes by Kevin Costner
In today's world, the elites are growing even more comfortable with one another across national lines, yet at the same time, less comfortable with low-income people who share their nationality. How we create those bonds of community that are truly global as well as national is one of our generation's great challenges. ~ Jacqueline Novogratz
Our Generation quotes by Jacqueline Novogratz
Throughout our history each and every generation has expanded upon the freedoms won by their parents and grandparents. Each and every generation has removed some of the barriers to full participation in the American dream. And the next great barrier standing before our generation is the prohibition on marriage for same-sex couples ~ Michael Bloomberg
Our Generation quotes by Michael Bloomberg
You, our youth of today, are among the most illustrious spirits to be born into mortality in any age of the world. Yours is a noble heritage and a wonderful opportunity. ~ Harold B. Lee
Our Generation quotes by Harold B. Lee
No doubts our generation is producing another form of grub street literature.. Welcome to the world of hack writers.. ~ Himmilicious
Our Generation quotes by Himmilicious
The tears of the world are a constant quantity. For each one who begins to weep somewhere else another stops. The same is true of the laugh. ~ Samuel Beckett
Our Generation quotes by Samuel Beckett
I love "Phenomenal Woman." The experiences she had of being African American in the U.S. - that itself is a task. I appreciate the hardships Maya Angelou went through for our generation. I'm super influenced by the black people that paved the way for us. ~ Serena Williams
Our Generation quotes by Serena Williams
I see young people being dismissed for supposedly wanting only "stupid" and "easy" material, or that they don't have an attention span longer than three minutes. I disagree with all those statements; I just think they aren't true. I'm saying that our generation wants stuff that is substantial and challenging, as well as thoughtful and endearing. Well, I don't know if I'm doing that, but I'm trying. ~ Bo Burnham
Our Generation quotes by Bo Burnham
The survival of the fittest instinct should end with our generation. We have evolved to grow out of it. There are enough resources out there for us not to kill someone over them. ~ Rajesh`
Our Generation quotes by Rajesh`
In a Christian culture that does not value innocense, it is no wonder our generation is often indistinguishable from the culture around it. We've simply been taught by our culture that life experience is the most valuable thing a person can have. ~ Tyler Braun
Our Generation quotes by Tyler Braun
The invention of film has given our generation the dubious advantage of watching our acting heroes deteriorate before our eyes. ~ Robert Brustein
Our Generation quotes by Robert Brustein
What we have now is a communication ability. We have the ability to see working ideas that are going on in the great cities throughout the world and whether you live in Shanghai or you live in Sao Paulo, you have the ability of seeing and knowing the ideas of some of the greatest minds of our generation. ~ Kehinde Wiley
Our Generation quotes by Kehinde Wiley
Justice needs money; it always has ... whether for abolition of slavery and early women's rights movements or the civil rights and environmental drives of our generation. ~ Ralph Nader
Our Generation quotes by Ralph Nader
Sustainable development is not an option! It is the only path that allows all of humanity to share a decent life on this, one planet. Rio+20 gives our generation the opportunity to choose this path. ~ Sha Zukang
Our Generation quotes by Sha Zukang
I think what you have to realise is that our generation is the first generation since its sexual awakening has come into the world and realised that sex can mean, ultimately, death. That has had a very serious effect on social morals and on the way people deal with each other. As we approach the millennium, people are getting more and more confused and contact is getting more and more sanitised, so there's a lot more mental games being played. ~ Brian Molko
Our Generation quotes by Brian Molko
One hundred and eighty-eight years ago this week, a small band of valiant men began a long struggle for freedom," he told television cameras. "Now our generation of Americans has been called on to continue the unending search for justice within our own borders." (quoting, President Lyndon B. Johnson) ~ Charles Duhigg
Our Generation quotes by Charles Duhigg
As times change, so do the way each generation see the world. It is rather like the way our generation came to see our grandparents' views on the Empire and colonies as outdated. ~ Douglas Alexander
Our Generation quotes by Douglas Alexander
I do think that some of us began to realize that this was going to be a long struggle that was going to go on for decades, and you'd have to knuckle down. A lot of people in our generation did that. They didn't drop out and run away. ~ Julian Bond
Our Generation quotes by Julian Bond
Until we're dead, we Service people, the world will always be in danger of another war. We had too good a time in the last one. We'll none of us come out into the open and admit it. It might be better for us if we did. [...] For our generation, the war years were the best time of our lives, not because they were war years but because we were young. The best years of our lives happened to be war years. Everyone looks back at the time when they were in their early twenties with nostalgia, but when we look back we only see the war. We had a fine time then, and so we think that if a third war came we'd have those happy, carefree years all over again. I don't suppose we would - some of us might. ~ Nevil Shute
Our Generation quotes by Nevil Shute
All I'm saying is that there is a generation gap, and I think it revolves around this public/private thing. Our generation -- we subscribe to the old liberal doctrine of the inviolate self. I'ts the great tradition of realistic fiction, it's what novels are all about. the private life in the foreground, history a distant rumble of gunfire, somewhere offstage. In Jane Austen not even a rumble. Well, the novel is dying, and us with it. No wonder I could never get anything out of my novel-writing class at Euphoric State. It's an unnatural medium for their experience. Those kids...are living a film, not a novel. ~ David Lodge
Our Generation quotes by David Lodge
No mathematician of equal stature has risen from our generation ... Hilbert was singularly free from national and racial prejudices; in all public questions, be they political, social or spiritual, he stood forever on the side of freedom. ~ Hermann Weyl
Our Generation quotes by Hermann Weyl
