Famous quotes containing the word generation:
“We need to encourage members of this next generation to become all that they can become, not try to force them to become what we want them to become. . . . You and I can’t even begin to dream the dreams this next generation is going to dream, or answer the questions that will be put to them.”
—Barbara Coloroso (20th century)
