Famous quotes containing the words caprice and/or generation:
“The only difference between a caprice and a life-long passion is that the caprice lasts a little longer.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“By this unprincipled facility of changing the state as often, and as much, and in as many ways as there are floating fancies or fashions, the whole chain and continuity of the commonwealth would be broken. No one generation could link with the other. Men would become little better than the flies of a summer.”
—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
