Famous quotes containing the word generation:
“The greater part of our best years has been passed for our generation in these two great worldconvulsions. All will be changed after this war, which spends in one month more than nations earned before in years ... there is no more security in our time than in those of the Reformation or the fall of Rome.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“The next generation of women will enter a world in which they are perceived to have more opportunities for creating fulfilling lives than women have ever had before.”
—Elizabeth Debold (20th century)
“The creation of a world view is the work of a generation rather than of an individual, but we each of us, for better or for worse, add our brick to the edifice.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
