Famous quotes containing the word generation:

    “Every generation revolts against its fathers and makes friends with its grandfathers.”
    —Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)

    “This generation has come into the world fatally late for some enterprises. Go where we will on the surface of things, men have been there before us.... But the lives of men, though more extended laterally in their range, are still as shallow as ever.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
