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)
“The world is never the same as it was.... And that’s as it should be. Every generation has the obligation to make the preceding generation irrelevant. It happens in little ways: no longer knowing the names of bands or even recognizing their sounds of music; no longer implicitly understanding life’s rules: wearing plaid Bermuda shorts to the grocery and not giving it another thought.”
—Jim Shahin (20th century)
