Famous quotes containing the word generation:

    “The pork sizzles and cries for fish. Luckily for the foolish race, and this particularly foolish generation of trout, the night shut down at last, not a little deepened by the dark side of Ktaadn, which, like a permanent shadow, reared itself from the eastern bank.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Counting is the religion of this generation it is its hope and its salvation.”
    —Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
