Generation Consoles

Famous quotes containing the words generation and/or consoles:

“... the generation of the 20’s was truly secular in that it still knew its theology and its varieties of religious experience. We are post-secular, inventing new faiths, without any sense of organizing truths. The truths we accept are so multiple that honesty becomes little more than a strategy by which you manage your tendencies toward duplicity.”
—Ann Douglas (b. 1942)

“The only thing that ever consoles man for the stupid things he does is the praise he always gives himself for doing them.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
