Excess Generation

Famous quotes containing the words excess and/or generation:

    Genius has infused itself into nature. It indicates itself by a small excess of good, a small balance in brute facts always favorable to the side of reason.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    History is the present. That’s why every generation writes it anew. But what most people think of as history is its end product, myth.
