Famous quotes containing the word generation:

    If you think about it seriously, all the questions about the soul and the immortality of the soul and paradise and hell are at bottom only a way of seeing this very simple fact: that every action of ours is passed on to others according to its value, of good or evil, it passes from father to son, from one generation to the next, in a perpetual movement.
    Antonio Gramsci (1891–1937)

    The greatest significance of the present student generation is that it is through them that the point of view of the subjugated is finally and inexorably being expressed.
    James Baldwin (1924–1987)
