Famous quotes containing the word generation:

    “There may perhaps be a new generation of doctors horrified by lacerations, infections, women who have douched with kitchen cleanser. What an irony it would be if fanatics continued to kill and yet it was the apathy and silence of the medical profession that most wounded the ability to provide what is, after all, a medical procedure.”
    —Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

    “An evil and adulterous generation asks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.”
    —Bible: New Testament, Matthew 12:39.
